I originally started this account to support Tulsi Gabbard for President.
I (kinda) started the whole 🌺 emoji thing to rally her supporters.
I now see she is becoming increasingly right-wing, especially with her recent transphobic legislation.
Fuck Tulsi.

ALOHA 🌺 means LOVE ❤️
We've felt the hate coming from this president.
In 2016, we had the BERN to move forward on progressive policy.
In 2020, It's time to #FeelTheAloha!

There are better outlets for your energy and activism... like maybe call for a #GeneralStrike2020, or maybe hit up your neighbors, fellow tenants, fellow workers.
Local organizing! What a concept!
You can do a lot more to help the left than prop up the @GreenPartyUS corpse.
@UncannyAce @SightUmbra We all said the same after 2016, and the toxic elements of the "left" (I'm not even sure they're leftists) still failed us four years later.
You have a lot more faith than I do, I respect that.
@NSkeeve I honestly think that we need to build up local structures more than we ever did, and we did do a lot already.
We aimed too high too quickly, but then again we didn't have a choice.
We're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
@UncannyAce @SightUmbra We're lucky if we get another chance in 2036-2040. Bernie really was a once in a lifetime candidate, and that might not have mattered if we didn't have like 10 years to stop the decay of this planet.
We really blew it. I'm not giving up, I'm no doomer, but I'm a realist.
@UncannyAce @SightUmbra Leftie twitter turning on Bernie all for the shit Green Party woke my ass up to just how incompetent most of the left movement is.
The movement won't be there in 2024, it'll have to be built back up like how Bernie built in 2016, and we just don't have time for that.
@NSkeeve Look, everyone's on edge right now, and the last thing some of us want to hear is "Bernie's a shill, vote Green!"
Not saying that's what you said, but you did say "Entryism was never going to work lmao."
What have you done then? I legit want to know.
@UncannyAce @SightUmbra Tons of free media coverage compounded by the fact that the left took this election for granted after Nevada.
We knew going in to this it was going to be an uphill battle, and still many of us gave up after March 3rd. I'm just tired of all the slacktivism.
@NSkeeve Damn right I'm hostile. Half of the left is turning on itself, and the only solution we have is a rapist like Biden or helping the failing Green Party.
I guess I didn't mean to take all that out on you, if that's how you interpreted it, but damn. Everyone's on edge now.
@NSkeeve Honestly, I bet you just took my original response too harsh. I honestly should've rephrased it, but you just jumped to calling me a liberal dumbass.
Leftist infighting is what screwed us up this year. Leftist unity is honestly a meme, I think we can agree there.
@SightUmbra @UncannyAce A lot of people really thought twitter was going to magically make the Revolution happen.
We lost in states where Biden had ZERO ground game. Sure, voter suppression is a given, but weren't we supposed to organize against that? Or did we all just forget?
"The Greens are so popular, man. That's why they haven't made any successes in the past 20 years. That's why when we all #DemExit'd in 2016, Jill Stein got 1.07% of the vote.
But this time we'll get to 5%! Just you wait and see!"
@NSkeeve @VaushV Oh just tell the working class to read endless pages of theory and build up a third party. Great, that'll work in the short time that we need it to. GTFO out of my mentions.
@eldon_katz It's simple. You live in a swing state, you vote to stop Trump. Period. You don't live in a swing state, it really doesn't matter.
Anyone advocating for otherwise is completely detached from Bernie's goals.

@UncannyAce I blame them above all. We spent years thinking we had a big movement, but all we had were a bunch of LARPers who abandoned Bernie at the drop of a hat.
I tweeted out the volunteer link thousands of times on this decently-sized account. Any takers? Few and far between.
