it cowers in the corner like a frightened puppy dog.
most politicians are out for themselves, #BernieSanders and #AOCortez seem to be th only ones getting out and doing their job (as the opposition) at the moment. Where the fuck is #KamalaHarris ?
#CNN will share nuggets from #BernieSanders town hall yesterday, but #Bernie was basically saying "SHUT UP, Anderson Cooper, with your basic-ass shallow corporate media questions, I gotta talk URGENTLY to the #People now!"
#BernieSanders is showing up for democracy and people are listening, whether they supported him in the past or not. People just want someone who is willing to fight for them in a crisis, and they can see that Bernie and #AOC are fighters.
Lots of Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats are showing up to these Fighting Oligarchy rallies.
Bernie and AOC get attacked from the left and right, but they're really making a difference against #Trump
Any “movement” that leads #protest back to the #DemocraticParty is, by definition, dangerous. Criticism of Donald Trump cannot be a defining feature of change.
The #BernieSanders and #AOC event in northern #California on 4/15 has changed venues. It's now being held in #Folsom California which is closer to #Sacramento
#AOC & #BernieSanders are " #progressives" in the same way an axe with a wooden handle is considered an ally by #trees. You see, the trees let the axe cut them down & chop them up, because they think it's one of them due to its wooden handle. Not knowing it's actually working with the lumberjacks.
Acc/to #Trump’s interpretation of trade laws, #BernieSanders told Greer, “the president can declare an emergency with any country on Earth.” He added, “That’s called #authoritarianism.”
Greer responded: “Sir, Congress delegated this power to the president.” ← they did not.
The hearing has concluded. Before it wrapped up, Sen #BernieSanders (I-VT) described himself as “not a great fan of unfettered free #trade” but called the national emergencies President Trump has used to impose tariffs against #Canada & other countries “a lie.”
Another unpopular take: The #DemocraticLeadership should have stopped fucking around and just run #BernieSanders, who would have hit actual landslide victory. They fucked around running candidates they knew were not wanted and now we're all finding out.

#CNN to host #townhall with #BernieSanders on #April9
Shania Shelton
..."The town hall will be moderated by CNN’s Anderson Cooper, which will air at 9 p.m. ET on April 9 in Washington, DC.
During the town hall, Sanders will answer questions from both Cooper and a live audience that will include a mix of Democrats, Republicans and Independents."...
Where Do We Go From Here? #berniesanders #yt
Keep getting bit notes to chime on this or that political situation having been a fairly engaged #Democrat over multiple decades (and #Republican for a few).I admire #BernieSanders, #JoeBiden and so many others who have been dedicated public servants over decades. They can and should hold their heads high.There is such a thing as quiet activism geared towards trying to tilt things you can influence in positive fashion while avoiding jumping into volcanoes.Pick your battles.Minimize inflammation-
If you're OK with memes making fun of cybertrucks, protesting Tesla and sinking stocks I beg you to also take a day to attend a Gaza protest OR any form of mutual aid for the homeless (the Gaza in your backyard).
If you need convincing please checkout this Bernie Sanders speech. Ask your liberal, centrist and fiscal conservative friends to take a look.
Bernie goes hard for Gaza here, is this what the dems feared so much?
Quote:
"Yes, the oligarchs are enormously powerful. They have endless amounts of money. They control our economy. They own much of the media.
But, from the bottom of my heart, I am convinced that if we are well-organized, they can be defeated."
