Anyone saying this after immigrant organizers delivered AZ, Black grassroots flipped Georgia, MI going blue w reality-bending 94% Detroit margin + @RashidaTlaib running up the margins in her district & Trump publicly challenging @IlhanMN in MN and losing isn’t a serious person.
One thing I’ll say: for the last two years, I and progressive candidates have been unseating powerful Dem incumbents supported by DCCC.
Not *once* has anyone in the party asked me what weaknesses I’ve found in their operation.
If they stop blaming progressives, we can help.
John Kasich, who did not deliver Ohio to Dems, is saying folks like @IlhanMN, who did deliver Minnesota, are the problem.
Please don’t take these people seriously and go back to celebrating and building power 🎉
I’ve been thinking so much of @IlhanMN.
Trump made Minnesota explicitly about HER. Said he’d win because of her. Many Dems in DC believed him, & marginalized her.
That burden wasn’t fair, but she took on the challenge anyway. She won.
Credit and respect her. @RashidaTlaib too.
I don't like Harris's prosecutorial/political record, but it means something to me to see her become VP. Because despite my deep cynicism and disgust with the majority of our political leaders, representation matters. It's not just little girls Kamala, it's us grown women too ❤️
While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.
Florida passed a $15 minimum wage
Montana, South Dakota, Arizona & New Jersey legalized marijuana
Colorado passed 12 weeks of paid family leave
Arizona increased taxes on the rich to fund education
All over America, voters approved a progressive agenda. Now, Congress must act
The return of democracy in Bolivia didn't come for free. So many young people gave their lives in the fight against the US coup. These are the heroes of Sacaba. In Senkata, Yapacaní & Pedregal too, so many paid the ultimate price for their country.
Be mindful of tomorrow’s spin: MAS’s win isnt a “testament to democracy” or some high minded bullshit it was a restoration of it after it was stolen by far right wackos, OAS & foreign capital w/ help from US. The election was redundant & only held because the regime had no choice
Now remember if you oppose the person who laughed at legal marijuana in 2014 and didn’t prosecute Goldman Sachs criminal Steve Mnuchin when she could’ve, you are a racist.
@cenkuygur please interview @JulieOliverTX
She is within the margin of error in a Republican held congressional seat in Texas! She is a totally unbought and uncorrupted candidate. She supports M4All, GND, gun control & money out of politics. She is a Justice Dem in all but name.
I just want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that @SenKamalaHarris supported slave labor in prisons. And while I prefer her becoming the first woman president over say a white capitalist gender traitor like HRC, this is still a pro-capitalism pick #ninaturner2024
