Fucking Bernie, not outlining a Health Care overhaul in two tweets.
Maybe, but Bernie is simply pointing the way - not giving them a road map for how to implement it. Without the latter his populism fails.
By not educating his followers on the basic processes for how those bills become laws, because most voters sure won't be doing that. There's a lot more he can do here then two vague tweets which misinform his followers on how congress works. As usual, it'll be the capitalists who do the hard work to get his vision closer to reality but get none of the credit.
It has all worked seamlessly and really well together then. She even got some international coverage last week as a top 3 contender.She unofficially started during the launch of her books and media tour for them, TBH.
Two recent polls put Harris in third place behind Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, those undeclared septuagenarians. We know polls are dubious a year out. But in a prospective field of 20 candidates, her early prominence matters.
Right?you can't serve chicken and waffles and not know how to eat fried chicken
But she didn't use a fork. She used fingers......
Those poor capitalists, always quietly laboring behind the scenes to (checks notes) implement socialized medicine
I'm wondering if he's only in again to keep pushing the field left.
He seemingly hasn't concerned himself with the nitty gritty for a long, as long as he's been a Senator, time.
Obviously, instead of posting tweets speaking to the frustration people have with the healthcare system, he should have been spamming the legislative episode of schoolhouse rock
She's not a scumbag. She made an honest mistake that was born out of love and pride in her family's stories. That may be bad enough. But if she's going to be written off, then folks should understand exactly what it is that they're writing off.
Never before has the line between long-shot and quixotic been so blurred. And Wayne Messam, the little-known mayor of Miramar, may decide to test the tipping point.
In a scenario that some political consultants have called "far-fetched" and "absurd," Messam — the mostly ceremonial mayor of a west Broward city of 140,000 and owner of a construction firm — has been pondering a run for president. The Miami Herald confirmed that he sought out meetings and advice during the recent U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington after, an adviser says, he received encouragement from unnamed politicians, consultants and activists.
That he would even dip a toe in presidential waters has drawn guffaws and incredulity from some political consultants and operatives in Florida. One Democrat quipped that Messam, a 44-year-old former wide receiver for the champion 1993 Florida State Seminoles football team, "has a better chance of being a slot receiver for the Miami Dolphins than he does of being president."
"Look at Pete Buttigieg: He's in South Bend and in a state that's not going to make waves in the primary or the general … But look at the kind of coverage and demand that Pete is getting," said Phillip Thompson, a former Florida Democratic Party deputy director who served as Andrew Gillum's first campaign manager on his run for governor and counts Messam as a close friend. "That should tell you something about where the Democratic party base is."
Buttigieg, the mayor of a city of barely more than 100,000 people, received a full day of coverage from cable news networks and plenty of ink from news outlets when he announced that he was launching an exploratory committee this month. But he's also been building a national profile since 2017, when he ran for chairman of the Democratic National Committee. And his candidacy — he's an openly gay Afghan war veteran who'd be the first millennial president — makes for a compelling story.
Messam's supporters say his story also has a chance to resonate with Democratic voters. A self-made businessman who grew up in the tiny Lake Okeechobee town of South Bay as the son of a Jamaican sugar cane worker, Messam became Miramar's first black mayor. He is a husband, father, and the immediate past president of the National Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials, and presides over one of the country's fastest growing communities. Miramar, where Messam is a shoo-in to win reelection as mayor next month, is home to several major federal operations, including an FBI field office and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office.
They are millionaires.She tried to eat fried chicken with a fork? First Deblasio and the pizza debacle and now this. Sup with these NYers?
You'e concern trolling again and it's useless.Since when is Bernie a candidate who can't tweet about his frustration and educate his followers on civics? He can tweet as much as he likes, nobody's stopping him. What's wrong with having him educate his followers, so they know how the system works? Frustration may be good for his donations but it's going to do squat with giving his followers the correct expectations getting bills he wants passed congress. He's not there to simply become an echo chamber for his true believers, he's there to pass the laws they want to fix the system.
Obviously, instead of posting tweets speaking to the frustration people have with the healthcare system, he should have been spamming the legislative episode of schoolhouse rock
No, it's concern trolling because you expect him to educate everyone on how bills are passed in a few tweets in response to two tweets about Medicare For All. Is he supposed to link to the wikipedia page or youtube video on how bills are passed every time he talks about it? Is he supposed to be managing expectations when he's not even declared yet let alone won the nomination? This is not constructive criticism at all, it's concern trolling and you do it with everything Bernie or AOC does under the guise of "educating" others. It's tiresome.It's not concern trolling when all that I said was constructive criticism about Bernie and your reaction to my posts about his tweets. Instead, this makes it appear you don't care about Bernie educating his followers, which is quite an opinion. It is useless, alright, and it's sad to see anti-intellectualism being adopted by the left. You're just not interested in having a deeper conversation about Bernie's tactics or his flaws, you've failed to learn from the last national election why he lost. A pity, I thought you were smarter than that and actually wanted to make the change in politics you talk so much about but that's all it is. Talk.
You joke, but people are this stupid. There's a reason the right wing media tried to blame the Democrats on everything despite the GOP controlling all three branches of government.
And let's face it, if Sanders wins and is unable to implement radical change 2 weeks into office, the idiotic left will cry that he's corporate shill or some other nonsense. They did with Obama, they'll do it again.
There's literally nothing wrong with eating fried chicken with a fork.
I could see a Kamala/Booker ticket. Only other person who might consider him as VP is Biden. Don't see Bernie or Warren taking him.
He's gonna have a hard time overcoming his history with schools.
