Clyburn is full of shit. Why are you bringing up slavery after being asked about the Congressional Black Caucus taking so much corporate PAC money and being completely out of touch with people who aren’t happy with that? Just answer the question without weaponizing blackness.
Clyburn, the biggest recipient of big pharma money in congress, says none of his votes reflect influence from that industry.
Not only has he been a consistent opponent of Medicare for All, he threw the 2020 election to Biden to stop Bernie -- the only single-payer candidate in the race. I'm sure he did that for his constituents.
Democrats spent first Trump Admin attacking their own base,
they spent the Biden Admin attacking their own base while sponsoring genocide,
and now they spend the second Trump Admin attacking their own base while still defending the genocide they sponsored under Biden
FUCK THEM
I can’t wrap my head around an economy where nursing homes cost enough to bankrupt families, yet the aides caring for our grandparents still rely on food banks. Or where daycare can consume an entire parent’s paycheck, while the people providing that care still can’t earn a living wage and need a second job. Something about that math just doesn’t add up.
Anyone whitewashing or downplaying genocide is a fucking monster. It was just as true during Biden years as it is now
I think a lot of us are still reeling from & coping with the realization of how fucking monstrous so many so-called allies, liberals & Democrats turned out to be
Zionists are trying to merge the US with Israel's military and all you hear from Democrats is "socialists who want medicare for all are trying to destroy our party". It's truly remarkable.
this pisses me the fuck off because two years ago, when people were being blown to fucking pieces, this ass fuck said those of us rising up against it were just antisemitic & domestic terrorists. I really hate these opportunist bastards.
Actually I think this photo of Gretchen Whitmer is one of the single most powerful symbolic depictions of the contemporary Democratic Party leadership.
"decking yourself out in blue as if you're different but cooperating with Trump while pretending not to" says it all
@BenjaminPDixon@RepJamesClyburn Clyburn can kindly shut fuck up.also remember back in 2008 cowardly Clyburn stayed neutrel untill obama won sc.when given choice he didn't support first black president when he was in fight with trump's old buddy the clintons
If an elected official said “don’t just come in here speaking Hebrew, don’t come out with your Jewish music on” it would be a weeks-long scandal and every candidate in the state would have to condemn it.
This anti-Arab racism will go by without a word from the Stevens campaign.
James Clyburn brought us Clarence Thomas
the 94 Crime bill that put half our brothers in prison
he could secure the Primary for Biden
but he couldn't secure the John Lewis or George Floyd civil rights legislation.
And now he blames Black people for Kamala Harris losing.
Respectfully, @RepJamesClyburn
You're not doing the Black community any favors
She charged anti-genocide college protestors with felonies at the behest of pro-Israel members of the board of regents, and had to be embarrassed in court into dropping her intimidation campaign. No wonder you and your billionaire donors have her endorsement.
Refusing to vote for a candidate that was complicit in genocide is not anti-Black. It was Kamala’s job to convince people to vote for her, but she couldn’t do it because she was too busy defending Israel.
There’s no other sales job (and make no mistake, campaigning and politics is sales) where you get to consistently fail at winning people over and you get to blame them for not buying your wares. Voter scolding has a 0.00% success rate but it’s all the calcified establishment has
"Get shit done" is the perfect encapsulation of how centrists have misread this moment. A vague promise to be effective with no policy or substance attached, but there's a curse word so they think it makes them seem like strong and genuine
