Biden walked a picket line and helped teamsters keep their pensions. The argument is one he trotted out eight years ago and is still thin as gruel.

He’s also the one who said he didn’t know about his own campaign treating women badly (which is WHY his second campaign was run by a union).

But, yeah, bonifides.

Past Bernie Sanders needs to give today’s Bernie Sanders a kick in the crotch.

I guess he is sucking up to Trump?

@JV3MJD @NotHoodlum

Well, he’s in over his head.

Sure, go free those kids from the basement of the pizza shop that has no basement.

The Trump Admin looks like a list of the dumbest or most evil people.

This is to be expected.

The problem is that Sanders has a lot of anger towards the rich. I get that.

What I don’t get is him thinking he is one of us. He hasn’t been one of us for a VERY LONG time.

Raise your hand if you make $174,000. Hell, our combined salaries never came close to that and I’m a software engineer.

I’m really really tired if the rich pretending they know what the rest of us think.

60%? You know who said this? A company called The Lending Club. Where did they get their numbers? No fucking clue. They point to CNBC’s study which says 70%. However, it may come down to Survey Monkeys, an online survey company.

Sanders: "We are living in an economy today where people on top are doing phenomenally well while 60 percent of our people are living paycheck to paycheck."

That didn’t make Trump a better candidate or Harris a worse one.

Try again.

This has ALWAYS been Trump wanting a Trump Moscow tower.

It’s so venal and so on brand.

@th3j35t3r @VelvetDuchess

😑 I’m shocked… shocked that he is a Russian asset…. 🥱

I’m not saying it was a EXPLICIT coordination effort, but an implicit one.

Except for WaPo, that was pretty damning. But it shows you that there was some top-down push to assure a Trump win.

I think at the heart was a fear that Harris would force the rich to pay what they owe in taxes.

Funny how the news seemed to gloss over that. Almost as if they didn’t want voters to know it.

@Helical_Code @S_r_stone

So, what it boils down to is not, “How could Harris done better” — she couldn’t, Trump started out as a horrible human being, has terrible policies and is just a dumb human being.

Anyone could have won with that combo.

So it had to be something OTHER than Harris’ qualities.

So what do you do when you have a defective product? You advertise that it is NOT defective.

PR, propaganda, whatever you want to call it.

And get news orgs to participate.

"Florida Ag is Citrus, peppers, watermellons, and other crops that grow well in warmer humid conditions.”

Sorry, I should have been explicit:

DeSantis, et al, seemed to not understand how things work—that if you can’t have migrant labor, then food is going to rot.

White people are not going to fill in the void.

@S_r_stone @Helical_Code

"During the month of March, FNC was number one in all of cable in total day and primetime viewership and beat CNN and MSNBC across the board with double and triple advantages. Additionally, FNC occupied more than half the audience share among total viewers and swept every hour in the 25-54 demo.”

That is insane. A company that regularly lies to its audience was #1.

@S_r_stone @Helical_Code

But the news organizations realized that Fox News gets WAY more money and attention by lying than by telling the truth.

Look, this is up to 2022. Who would you rather be if you wanted to be a gazzilionaire?

@S_r_stone @Helical_Code

There is no reality where Biden stepping down would have changed Trump being the worst candidate ever.

What changed things was the Main Stream Media giving Trump a pass on everything. Did they mention his convictions? Only half heartedly. Did they mention his illegal acts? Sure, way back when it didn’t matter. Did they mention Harris? Only to say, “We need to know more about her”—she was only the VP for the last four years!

Harris is a far better candidate.

@S_r_stone @Helical_Code

"I’m furious at Biden for not dropping out earlier and that the egos and inaction of two men older than credit cards themselves have led us to this point”

Okay, here is the point: Trump is the WORST CANDIDATE in the history of the Presidency. He is a rapist, a convict an insurrectionist, he stole government documents, he tried to get a state to change the votes, he applied pressure on a foreign government, he was impeached twice.

@S_r_stone @Helical_Code

Both John Oliver and Jon Stewart both sides it.

Oliver trying to make it Biden’s fault… except the STATES are the ones that get to make that decision… Huh… Maybe Oliver’s crew need to read the fucking Constitution instead of Wikipedia:
