What I meant was that his base stayed pretty solid despite all that. There wasn't some massive party backlash like you seem to be suggesting will happen if Bernie can't deliver everything he's campaigning on. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you though.
I have no opinion about it. there is no context or anything to this tweet.
I mean, that's a more exciting platform than what he's said so far.
Not surprised Teen Beto was a communist anarchist, i feel most people were in their teenage years.
This is fucking amazing. Next generation of young politicians are so fucked lol Every tiny bit of pointless dirt is going to be dug up from their social media of when they were a kid lol Likes,retweets,shares,posts... Kinda scary, tbh. It's going to take a while for the country to get used to it.
Beto was thinking about a money less society when his peers were arguing about Soundgarden v. Pearl Jam.
Ouch, scar Bernie is gonna power up
I've swung from right-wing libertarian (younger years) to anarchist (high school years) to liberal (college years) to communist anarchism (presently) in my life, so there's still hope for him yet.
Is it a case of them being modest?
Klobbers got 1 million in 48 hours, and Inslee did it in approximately 72.
There's no way that Beto won't beat them with the coverage he's gotten.
Creed is running, just not as a Democrat of course.
He's probably just not announcing anything due to the NZ terrorist attack. Maybe by Monday.
Probably due to the terrorist attack. He hasn't sent any emails today
Yeah, it would be pretty awkward to be gloating about fundraising numbers at the moment. No one will be surprised that Beto raised a lot of money so there isn't much to be gained anyway.
I think he's going to announce he got around 3 million in 24hrs. When he was running in Texas everyone in the party was donating to him, now people have their own candidates.
I really don't know which party he'd run for. Probably whichever was the most fun.
Honestly, what is this guy prepared to talk about?
He has pretty much no defined policy platform atm
It really isn't an appropriate time to brag about donations.
What, you'd brag about how much money you raised in a single day right after talking about the New Zealand massacre?
"Shame about all the dead people but I'd like to pivot and let everyone know I raised $5 mil yesterday."
That'd be a big ol' yikes.
He's right about these things, but what are his proposed solutions? We are going to need concrete proposals. "Hope and change" isn't going to cut it a dozen years later. Primary voters are wiser now.
Obama was VERY specific about policy proposals in-between the hope and change rhetoric.
He has pretty concrete proposals for ideas based on his Senate run.
He said he wasn't prepared to talk about it not that it wasn't the right time to talk about it. The campaign is obviously touching on a bunch of issues not related to the shooting today as evidenced by other tweets on this page.
Talking about other issues isn't insensitive in the same way flaunting fundraising numbers would be.
I would assume that his positions (and proposals) will change for this run because the Democratic primary is much further left than Texas. Also baby bonds suck. It's an idea that has the same blindness to intersectionality that Sanders' proposals do; it tries to make the racial wealth gap into a purely economic problem with a purely economic solution.
There was a vast disconnect between Obama's vague slogans during his speeches and his actual proposals. He really should have ran on (incremental) Change.
Mustn't disrupt the system.
I can see both interpretations of his words here. Even if his numbers were record-breaking I don't think he'd be flaunting them now, but his phrasing suggests otherwise.
It wouldn't shock me if the numbers haven't been great. There seems to be a weird groundswell around this guy for dubious reasons but we've yet to see any hard polling data that justifies it.
But you just watched a video where he said there are many things that contribute to the wealth gap......?
Hope (for realistic and pragmatic action)
Change (by mutually palatable increments)
It's funny because even if that's what he did in office, he was still punished for it by the R electorate voting in Trump.
His policies were a mix of republican and democratic to try to please everyone, and the right still made it their mission to fuck him over and undercut him at every opportunity.
It's why people like Biden and their "we just need to work with our republican friends and meet in the middle" messaging comes across as someone who learned absolutely nothing ( or *gasp* don't actually care about their progressive talking points) over the past decade. They don't want to work with you. They don't want to pay back favors. They don't care about the integrity of the system.
We need to go left and do as much as possible while the left has power.
