@MarkHalperin@BernieSanders@hakeemjeffries Bernie Sanders leads a herd of cats. You really overestimate his power over this movement. They tolerate him because he is a mouthpiece. If he changed course, as Trump does, they would leave him, unlike MAGA.
New York City DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo: “Landlords in New York have been making a 12% return on their investment.”
Fox News’ Martha MacCallum: “How much should they make? What’s fair for the landlord to make?”
Gustavo Gordillo: “We don’t think that anyone should have a constitutional right to double-digit returns on their investment.”
Fox News’ Martha MacCallum: “What are you talking about?”
These EVIL Communists must be DEFEATED at all costs.
@heymikey80@LarryOConnor Nixon wasn’t President during the evacuation of Saigon; Gerald Ford was (April 1975). Furthermore, a decade-long war with 58k American casualties wasn't a "temporary problem." Nixon got our troops out in '73; Congress cut the funding after that.
@heymikey80@LarryOConnor He did challenge (Train v City of NY, 1975) & lost.
SCOTUS ruled the 1970 VRA only applied to federal elections, so Nixon championed the 26th Amendment—literally following the Constitution.
Signing Title IX had political risks so no...not anyone would have signed.
@LarryOConnor He's a sociopath. Just like Platner without the sex scandals. He is building a house of BS that will come crashing down, as it does to all progressive/socialist politicians.
@heymikey80@LarryOConnor Context FTW. Leaving gold was an emergency inflation measure he inherited and made worse by his successors. He didn't abandon allies. Congress took his spending power because he blocked their reckless spending. He signed Title IX, lowered the voting age, and established OSHA.
@heymikey80@LarryOConnor Yeah, he only tried to thaw the Cold War with China and Russia, created the EPA, ended the draft, withdrew from Vietnam, advanced civil rights, changed federal policy towards Native Americans, started the war on cancer, expanded the space program, but hey, he lied once.
@MarkHalperin This will go down as one of the biggest f-ups by Dems in a long time. All they needed was a normie Dem, and they could have beaten Collins. Now they are looking ineffectual and silly. They need to watch how NC does things. Normie Dem is crushing Trump's hand-picked candidate.
@MarkHalperin@guympageIII@VTDC802@BernieSanders Sanders has said he will not run. His polling among progressives is low. He has several health issues. He prefers to leverage his senior status in the Senate. He is actively (some say desperately) looking for a successor. More progressive candidates = less fundraising.
@MarkHalperin@AIPAC They made their choice. Now they are slaves to populism for those small-dollar donations, and it's going to be a wild ride of them saying crazier and crazier stuff.
@dcm24601@MarkHalperin@AIPAC Your instincts are bad on this one. The public overwhelmingly supports Israel. AIPAC is a force to be reckoned with, and it isn't fighting alone.
@libbyemmons What you are imagining a perfect world to be cannot exist. Once you stop incentivizing productivity, wealth crashes. I know you think that will only affect the billionaires, but I assure you, it will affect EVERYONE. Every major depression has been the rich losing wealth first.
@noMukh@LeeKuanYimby DSA's biggest mistake is assuming socialism can get done democratically. DSA will eventually turn authoritarian, like all socialist countries. You are already seeing some of it.
@MurtiBingPill@LeeKuanYimby MAGA leans into populism so the normies will bleed into them. No normie is calling for a government-run grocery store. Most of the DSA policies are not popular.
Fox spent years building Donald Trump's brand.
Now, Fox wants to buy Roku — and decide what 100 million households watch on TV.
I’m sounding the alarm.
