I'm sick of being told to wait to "push corporate-bought Dems left." After the election. After the first 100 days. After the first year. After midterms. After the NEXT election. Rinse, repeat. FOR DECADES. Why not NOW? Push them NOW, or push them OUT.

This is GOP rhetoric. Literally Heritige Foundation. There is a housing surplus in some areas. A shortage in others. "Rolling back red tape?" Quality controls? We had a surge of fly by night contractors in the 1990s, causing massive safety issues. Houses were falling apart.

AOC is wrong. Third parties are required to run POTUS & gain 2-5% to meet state party requirements in most states, to even run down-ballot. What's "unserious" is the Dems have abandoned the 50-state strategy, leaving 65% of seats UNCONTESTED down-ballot this year alone.

Liberals are "scared" the "criticisms" of Biden will make him lose, not his actions, apparently. The fucking NERVE & clueless self-absorbtion. Thousands are being bombed by U.S. weapons. 2M starved in Gaza. Genocide Joe is complicit in Israel's war crimes. Sickening.

Note: One of Harris' chief advisors is Mike Pyle (former chief financial strategist for Blackrock). Blackrock's portfolio of clients benefit heavily from capital gains on construction/rental properties. I foresee corporate welfare folded into this platform in the future.

This is the definition of the liberal moderate that Malcolm X, Dr. King, and Fred Hampton warned us about. They will always excuse fascism as long as it's to protect what they perceive as their comfort, and their "side."

Fascinating mental gymnastics by De Niro on Bill Maher. He disagrees w/Kathy Hochul putting National Guard in subway, but minimizes it vs if Trump did it: "If he did it, it's for another reason” This twisted liberal logic is dangerous on many levels:

I already faced discrimination for years being Appalachian, being Middle Eastern, and classism as I'm from, and in, poverty. I know many are having trouble finding jobs in general, but blacklisting and discrimination are getting even worse with modern screening tactics.

The investigative team never asked me about any of this. Or did a follow-up if they revived these messages and had questions they should have asked. (4)

@ArcangeliJames Accurate, it's protesting love. Those at this rally were yelling "no cease-fire," while supporting a country that has cut food, water, and medical supplies, killed tens of thousands, and leveled Gaza (hospitals, schools) in an act of ethnic cleansing, after years of apartheid.

The other incidents were after that time during the Occupy Congress protests in D.C. This was ongoing abuse and there were several instances where boundaries were broken and coercion took place. (8)

What I reported to the investigative committee and elsewhere is not the same incident that Paula Jean witnessed. As I stated before, that scared me but I did not know if he was playing or not. Just frightened me because I had said no multiple times before he pushed me (7)

@Rykoth1 I see the current admin as fascistic as well. They are supporting and aiding a genocide, militarized police, trumpian border policies, etc. And at the VERY least I expect her not to gaslight us that this Admin has given two fucks about human life.

Despite being corrected repeatedly, @jimmy_dore STILL CLAIMS that the Young Patriots were racist. Also audaciously claiming Fred Hampton & the Black Panthers overlooked racism to form the Rainbow Coalition. WRONG: The YP was ANTI-RACIST. @ChuckModi1 explains the REAL history

@TheGreenGarret 1. It's in part fear of Trump and the GOP, w/o realizing how much the DNC enables the GOP. It's a false "pragmatism." B/c they are misinformed on how things ACTUALLY work. 2. They don't want to believe the party they support is evil. 3. Sometimes it's literally just grifting

This rhetoric assumes that Jill Stein voters would automatically vote for Harris, if Stein wasn't running. Thus somehow "stealing votes." It's not founded in research or fact. Research shows many of those voters would have stayed home b/c of the Dem party's neocon platform.

This video is 97 seconds long & nowhere does it explain how voting for a candidate on 2% in the polls will stop Trump from winning. If people want to vote for Stein, that’s fine, I get it, Gaza is a huge moral issue, but can we not pretend it does anything other than help Trump.

@LindseyBoylan Oddly...there is a term for it because it's common as hell. "Glass Cliff." They do this to us all the time. It's like kitchen nightmares, but where women are made to "clean up the mess." Instead of hiring us, so it's done right the first time.

🧵Yes, a thread about Jimmy Dore. NO, I’m not trying to ruin Force The Vote. I’m not a Dem. But, I have criticisms of Dore and his actions that have harmed and continue to harm people, particularly survivors of abuse, in real ways. These matter.

@Pauline26350415 @idkwtwhnid @TulsiGabbard AGAIN, complaints were brought by parents and students because he was treating kids differently that didn't participate. HE was obstructing their rights to NOT participate in HIS regular religious excerscizes he did w the team. It wasn't just one prayer. They have rights too.

I changed my name from Zeynab Abdollahi to Zeynab Day, my mother's maiden name, I was struggling to find jobs post-9/11, and I experienced discrimination, like being on the no-fly list. The dehumanization is STILL prevalent. We aren't "animals." We are human beings.

I know how laws work. I'm not saying Biden single handedly codifies abortion rights. Dems deserve criticism for not codifying this in when they had the majority. While right now they continue to fund Israel's war crimes & voter shame over this issue while supporting a genocide
