This is a former AOC campaign staffer making fun of one of the hosts of the Red Scare podcast. Basically socialist infighting in joke form.
Yay, more money that will not be spent fighting the GOP.
Ya'll gonna keep giving them money they're gonna keep having those 2 years 700 candidates primaries.
But something something small donations.
This is my take as well, though Pete did not do as well as I thought. Then again he was more reserved and respectful than the others.
Weirdly, I thought Tulsi seemed composed and Yang got more airtime than I thought he would. And Booker and DeBlasio were too aggressive and trying to get themselves noticed, to their detriment.
Oh please, while he does this tax cut he'll also start talking about one caravan or another. They'll be too distracted by "scary brown people" to notice their wallets are being picked.
When you can't spin your candidate's debate performance so you throw the goal posts as far as possible.
How long does it take Twitter to take these things down? I'd imagine those accounts should be gone within a day once reported.
Well, let's not pretend he's not right.

It's a message that clearly communicates that they, too, think Biden did poorly last night.
Holding back no punches.
You know your guy bombed when you aren't just spinning the debate but the very concept of debating.
I know he won't, but I realllllllllllllllly wish Obama would publicly disavow Biden and/or endorse someone else (Warren, obvs)
Isn't he a Bernie guy, not a Biden guy?

What is really bizarre about Biden's citing of James Eastland as an example of working across the aisle is that he was not even a Republican! If he wanted to make a point about civility and having bipartisan bona fides that no one else has, he could talk about actual Republicans he's dealt with. The whole thing has just been a giant self-own.
I don't follow surrogates, but despite my error, the observation stands up.
Or you now, Bernie did not stand out at all last night so the debates don't matter.
Also lol at Sirota shitting on Bernie's favorite tv show.
I didn't watch either debate, haven't seen a single clip, but I do read the internet after the fact. Here are the facts!
[ ] Biden had a terrible night, which might have been his goal to show how he isn't some super lefty, but did look really old
[ ] Bernie bombed because he looked old and cranky
[ ] Warren is going to gain the most from everyone else's fuckups, didn't really stand out
[ ] Kamala DESTROYED Biden and ENDED HIS CAREER, but is also a 'not black' cop which might be the way she unifies a leftish coalition (??)
[ ] Andrew Yang lied about economics
[ ] Pete seemed smart
[ ] A white guy told Biden to pass the torch
[ ] Marianne Williamson's new agey bullshit is equally bad as Trump's fascist efforts to recreate another holocaust
[ ] Nobody else matters, including Klobuchar
[ ] Oh yeah, Booker something something.
[ ] Praxiiiissssssssssssssss

I'm perplexed with this primary candidate selection.
Based on my key issues; student loan debt forgiveness, nuclear power expansion, Green New Deal, universal health care, free college, ending the electoral college, abolishing the filibuster, DC and PR statehood, DACA, Supreme Court reform, wealth tax, campaign finance, net neutrality, minimum wage, gun control, legalizing pot, and ending private prisons; it seems like Mayor Pete matches everything the best.
Which is disappointing. Harris has the better stage presence but she doesn't have a position on student debt relief (as far as I can find) and doesn't support nuclear power. Bernie and Warren are both down the board good, except for nuclear power. I think Bernie is too stubborn and too old though.
If Harris supports student loan forgiveness I can overlook the nuclear power issue, in which case Pete, Harris, and Warren would be my frontrunners.
With DeBlasio being a wildcard only because I think he can easily out-New Yorker Trump in any debate.

Sitting here at a Michigan hospital in a very rural, red area and a story about Trump came on the local news. I was bracing myself for the praise and was shocked when several of the elderly people started blasting him, saying his stupid tariffs were going to send us into a recession. Very pleased to hear. Even if these people just simply stay home in 2020, that could go a long way.
House ethics doesn't apply to the president.
Well, I suppose he could resign and run for Congress somewhere, but he won't.
The dynamics are different between genders, but he does this to everyone.
Sort of like how Bill Clinton would corner you and talk to you until you fall asleep, Joe will put his hands on you and stand ever so close.
It's the same old shit. Blah, blah, corporate interests, blah, blah, rigged, blah, blah, "some people say I'm the best I'm not saying it but that's what they say so there are people who say that".
Let's not pretend that if Bernie had had the standout debate performance, he wouldn't be saying something completely different.

Good to hear!
Hope the hospital visit isn't anything serious, though.
Heard clips of the Harris Biden exchange from last night, and its striking that until the very, very end the exchange is rather cordial in that neither candidate interrupted the other
I thought Biden was going to say something/do something that he'd get piled on as misogynistic or blatantly racist to be honesr
Some people will obviously push back against what I'm going to type, but Biden argued to keep a status quo in place which kept a specific race of people in inferior school districts based on nothing more than the color of their skin. That, by its very definition, is racist.
And that he then defended his own arguments on that policy in 2019 means that he is, in fact, racist.
People don't want to hear that (not that I'm implicating you, but just talking generally), but it is what it is. He is a racist, full-stop. And one who is very proud of working with other racists.
I love Bernie's system
For Profit insurance should only be allowed in the realm of that which is unneccessary for the life and well being of patients
Though some could argue certain cosmetic procedures are crucial but we already separate those within current insurance structures
I stand with the sentiment that tying Profit Driven incentives to Human Health and survival is an untenable and unethical situation
At the very least all private health companies should function as non profits or Benefit Corporations but some may even say thats not enough
Whats more centrist that would play well? Harsher regulations in medicine/health care? Could be a stepping stone but its not permanent or strong enough to be protected from lobbyist influence or the next shitty president/congress
Daily reminder that the NYT sucks shit
"No 'occupied' gaza strip" 🤔🤔🤔
Oh well surely they'll address concerns in their comment section

This tweet confuses me. Is he framing women having personal autonomy over their own bodies and choices as a negative? Does he have a history of saying women should solely exist as broodmares of the state?
Yes, he is saying that as a negative. He's a hardcore conservative.
As a parent one of my pet peeves is people pumping out kids they have no intention of properly caring for
We need to get away from this mentality of procreating for the sake of doing it
Its fucking sick and unnecessary. Also asinine as we torture and abuse the children we already have around us. I'm fucking tired of people pushing this shit
Man, Biden is obsessed with plastering himself over other people's work. Obama this, "my city" that.
*edit* "I'm known as Joe Biden's husband, and I'm not ashamed of that"... uhhh lol

Gravis poll of ME-SEN:
However, Gravis is not a very good pollster, and I typically shy away from them. This poll has Trump at 45% approval in ME. Even Morning Consult, which tends to be friendlier to incumbents, has him at 42% there. Many other polls have him below 40%.
Sue's approval down to 48-48. She leads Gideon 52-36 in head-to-head, compared to 51-29 to a poll conducted in March. Gideon still has lots of room to grow, and Sue still has room to fall. The poll also shows that ranked-choice would deny Collins a majority in the first round if there's an independent in the first round; we'd then go to the second round, where it looks to be pretty up in the air depending on how undecideds break (I assume Gideon will have increased her numbers by November 2020). So it's actually a fairly promising result, especially re:her approval.

Difference is, you can chew through those 30 lives the Konami Code gives you eventually. I don't know if Democratic voters will ever turn on Obama in any meaningful way.
An awful lot of "I'm that guy that _____ (some act or vote)!". But Bennett swatted down one of those boasts by pointing out it was no victory for Dems at all, it only helped Mitch and his trash caucus. I think Biden's banking on the majority of voters not actually knowing what any of the stuff he's referencing is, and just taking his word for it that not only was he solely responsible, but that they were all great.
I mean. Can't really fault him for thinking it would be a good strategy.
