I like Chomsky’s writing, but if that dude had been poor at any point during the past 50 years he would not be able to deal in this theoretical abstract of “the lesser of two evils.” For hungry people, both evils that vow to keep them hungry are equal. That will never change.
Wow, @ChrisCuomo just lifted the curtain on the entire business of @cnn manufacturing consent.
Sick of “talking to Democrats about things that I don’t really believe they mean” & “Republicans parroting things they feel they have to say.” https://t.co/OMbKtv0i7n
Many Bernie supporters are not Democratic voters, they're activists and working class independents - part of the 40% of the country that doesn't normally vote.
So if you are intent on them voting for Biden then your job is to get Biden's campaign to appeal to them.
So what if Biden helped segregationists, dog whistled to mass incarcerate blacks and is on the wrong side of history on every topic
It's not like the guy lied in black churches in this primary said blacks don't know how to raise our kids or is accused of rape.
Ooops never mind
I'm not voting for a white man that just last month stood in front of black congregations in South Carolina lying about being a part of the Civil Rights movement.
I know that some people may be disappointed by Bernie endorsing Biden. I hear you. I am disappointed too. However, please don't let that deter you from Voting for Bernie in the Primary. Bernie did what he probably had to do. It's possible he was even coerced into it. #NotMeUs ⬇️
Interesting to watch somebody that campaigned on Hope and Change fight to keep shit the same, since the day they took office and beyond the day they left.
@AllOurBeloved Vadar because he changed and learned over time after a traumatic life. Batman never got over his trauma. But that’s just like the rich, they are babied and when teir lives are molested then come hell or high water the thing that fucked with them must be destroyed.
NYT: "Mr. Obama has been considerably more engaged in the campaign’s denouement than has been previously revealed....he was becoming more agitated by the state of the race as Mr. Sanders surged, and Mr. Biden slumped."

#MSM and #DNC pretending that because they hide #IBelieveTaraReade that Trump wont because he is worse. They apparently have not been watching Trump for too long.
Acting as if his base will care that he is worse when they cheered Trump's "grab them by the pussy"
I'm listening to @TVietor08's @PodSaveAmerica interview with @AmandaMarcotte and annotating the errors and/ or distortions in real time. #1. Reade didn't work for Biden "for a few months" as Marcotte claims but for 9 months. (1/?) https://t.co/MyazmFn2sl
The Republican establishment embraces its base because no matter how cruel, racist, sexist and nutty their beloved candidate is, that candidate won't threaten the elite.
The Democratic establishment abuses and gaslights its base for a corresponding reason: to protect the elite.
