With the utmost respect for Bernie Sanders, who is an incredible human being & a genuine inspiration, I don't endorse Joe Biden.
I supported Bernie Sanders because he backed ideas like #MedicareForAll, cancelling ALL student debt, & a wealth tax. Biden supports none of those.
If Bernie supporters don't vote for Biden and he loses, we'll be blamed for his loss
If Bernie supporters do vote for Biden and he loses, we'll be blamed for his loss
You see the problem here?
When @BernieSanders says his opponent is the establishment MSM says, "How dare you?! Are you calling Biden voters part of the establishment?" When @JoeBiden says Bernie is radical socialist, no one in media says, "How dare you?! Are you saying voters in IA, NH & NV are radicals?"
(Thread): Don't allow yourself to be gaslit by these corporatists who pretend they want to defeat Trump. We all know the truth. Biden doesn't stand a damn chance against Trump due to vulnerabilities in his record & cognitive decline. We all see it. Don't insult our intelligence.
NEW: A source with direct knowledge of @BernieSanders plans tells @CNN at his 1p press event, Sanders is expected to say he is staying in the race and looks forward to a debate w/ @JoeBiden.
Something for the left to think abt. The reason everyone obsesses over the wants & needs of moderates is bc they r constantly threatening to vote for the other team/stay home. The party thinks the left will vote for them no matter what so we have 0 power & get treated like crap.
So it looks like Elizabeth Warren isn’t going to endorse anyone.
I’d say it’s deeply disappointing, but I’ve come to accept her inability to rise to the political moment. It’s sad and angering.
Voting for #AmoBernie right now! Super easy process thanks to the new MI voting laws.
If you voted for someone who dropped out, you can go to your local clerk's office & ask for a new ballot. If you aren't registered to vote, you can do it today & request a ballot. #NotMeUs
Did you know that the #MuslimVote can make or break this election? (We’re looking at you, Michigan!) Let’s win this for @BernieSanders, the one candidate who’s consistently had our back! #MuslimsForBernie
With the spread of coronavirus, we have already seen people hit with massive medical bills, simply for doing the right thing by getting tested.
Others may face massive bills for hospitalization, treatment and quarantine if they need it.
This must end.
We need Medicare for All.
I'm proud that during my time in the Senate, we have been able to win important fights for the working people of this country. We will carry on that fight inside the White House.
Even a Fox News audience agrees that our progressive ideas are not radical. These are the ideas we need to bring to the general election to defeat Trump.
“Policies that don’t challenge the status quo right now are incredibly dangerous… Bernie Sanders is not a risky candidate against Donald Trump. He is in fact the safest candidate.” –@NaomiAKlein
Making health care a right.
Universal child care.
Guaranteed paid leave.
A livable planet.
A homes guarantee.
These are ideas that Joe Biden tells us are "pie in the sky."
I don't think it's radical to say that in the richest country on Earth, our people should live in dignity.
Today is primary day in:
➡️Idaho
➡️Michigan
➡️Mississippi
➡️Missouri
➡️North Dakota
➡️Washington

Rev. Jesse Jackson is a hero of mine. It's one of the honors of my life to have his support. Together, we will build the nation based on justice we know we can become.
I had the time of my life working for @ewarren for the last year.
Now that the campaign’s over, I support @BernieSanders, & think all my EW fam should, too!
I worked for him in ‘16, & trust his values. Please vote for him & help save me from my mountain of debt!
