If only we had taxed the rich maybe none of this would have happened

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

It’s easy for Elon Musk to say “vote Republican” because he doesn’t have to worry about Social Security, Medicare, the minimum wage being cut, or reproductive rights.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Without the major turnout of younger voters, we would have seen a very different outcome in last night's elections. But now I am asking the younger generations: continue to stay engaged in the struggle. We have an enormous amount of work ahead of us.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Many states don’t allow mail-in ballots to be counted before Election Day.

But many races can’t be called until mail-ins are counted, which can take over 24h.

This is normal, but some GOP are laying ground to claim any race not called tonight is suspicious. Don’t fall for it.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The billionaire class are making out like bandits because many of them are bandits.

The people of Brazil have voted for democracy, workers’ rights and environmental sanity.  I congratulate @LulaOficial on his hard fought victory and look forward to a strong and prosperous relationship between the United States and Brazil.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Or maybe a billionaire-fueled propaganda channel that regularly generates high volumes of death threats to elected officials while pumping propaganda for an extreme right-wing that openly embraces fascism is what’s creating “the environment where it happened”

No, Howard Schultz. When you fire 120 Starbucks union leaders, shut down pro-union shops & engage in union busting you do not "love" Starbucks workers. If you truly respected the workers at Starbucks, sit down with them and negotiate a fair first contract as the law requires.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

I refuse to accept an economic system in which school teachers pay a higher tax rate than billionaire investors.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trickle down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

While over 60% of Americans now live paycheck to paycheck, three people own more wealth than the bottom half of American society. Got that? That's 1, 2, 3 people with more wealth than the bottom 165 million people.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Two words: free healthcare.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

If we want to keep our democracy, we must build a government that meets the needs of our people.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Overdraft fees were created in 1990. They’re immoral.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

OPEC's decision to cutback on production is a blatant attempt to increase gas prices at the pump that cannot stand. We must end OPEC's illegal price-fixing cartel, eliminate military assistance to Saudi Arabia, and move aggressively to renewable energy.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Corporations are using increasing costs – of materials, components and labor – as excuses to increase their prices even higher, resulting in bigger profits. This is why corporate profits are close to levels not seen in over half a century.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The UN Secretary-General is right: "The only true path to energy security, stable power prices, prosperity and a livable planet lies in abandoning polluting fossil fuels, especially coal, and accelerating the renewables-based energy transition." Defeat the Big Oil side deal.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

It may be a radical idea to some of my Senate colleagues & in the editorial rooms of newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch & Jeff Bezos, but I do believe the future of the planet is more important than the short term profits of the fossil fuel industry. Defeat the Big Oil side deal.

[Meteor_Blades @Meteor_Blades]

In another round of both-siderism, pundits and "analysts" keep calling what's happening in America "polarization" by the left and right. But that underplays the impacts and violent threats of right-wing radicalization, which has no counterpart on the left.
