No you see guys the heirs of Rupert Murdoch and Sam Walton, hedge fund CEOs and a half dozen other billionaires fund @MajorityDems because they care deeply about Electability and What It Takes To Win, they have no ideological agenda that corresponds with their class interests.
@stevenmaviglio@MaiForUs@DorisMatsui Doris Matsui is an empty pant-suit, do nothing inherited congresswoman.
She takes the checks and votes with Epstein Class. People like you are the problem.
THE PEOPLE OF MISSISSIPPI RECRUITED ME. YOU THINK I WAS LISTENING TO SOMEBODY THAT LIVES IN BROOKLYN?
Symone Sanders asks, "So what exactly was Schumer's part in making this happen?"
Scott Colom: He did initially understand that our party has to look South for future leadership. I think that it's not accurate to say he recruited me, though.
The people of Mississippi recruited me.
Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself.
This doesn’t make us safer, see why ⬇️
Hi Matt. I’m more than a little confused by this critique. Even folks who just had a passing knowledge of @AbdulElSayed’s campaign know that his slogan was about 3 things: Money out of politics, money in your pocket & Medicare for all.
Whether you (or other Democrat Senators or anyone, really) disagree with that is irrelevant to the facts that those were the things he explicitly campaigned on.
Do you truly believe that given the above facts, he should simply pretend that is not what he campaigned on? Or, alternatively, that he should acknowledge that despite campaigning on those ideals, he’s abandoning them days after the election because he won by 7 and other Democratic candidates won by 9?
Lastly, I understand you always seem to be focused on maximizing electability and far less focused on maximizing enacting actual reforms, but given your (and others) focus on electability concerns, isn’t right now—literally the furthest out from the next election we possibly could be—the best possible time to raise these issues?
