I appreciate this piece from @NaomiAKlein, & am genuinely stoked re: the power of solidarity building w/in the #NotMeUs movement.

What gives me pause is how much top tweeters of #NotMeUs seem wedded to a messianic, infallible view of @BernieSanders, human politician. [thread] And, how much top tweeters of #NotMeUs have attacked @ewarren and her supporters (and haven’t apologized for doing so, despite subsequent reports confirming that Sanders' campaign instructed volunteers to criticize Warren, and that the "leak" didn't come from Warren's campaign).

1/ The Iowa caucuses are just over a month away (February 3), and a whole host of outcomes seem possible. Ballots for the California primary (March 3) also become available that day.

I’ll be voting for @ewarren. Here’s why in a nutshell (A THREAD): 2/ Warren has correctly diagnosed the problems we face as resulting from an insufficiently regulated, thoroughly corrupted, socially debilitating political economic system.
