Something I think about a lot is how #veganism interacts with privilege. Veganism for wealthy, white Americans is very different from veganism for other demographics. When communicating your activism, this is such an important aspect to consider regarding your audience.
@TheRealSteveGle@emrazz Steve, this is a really bad take. Women's rights are a very different issue from dairy farming. It's absolutely insane that we unnecessarily slaughter living animals for taste preferences. You can say that statement without trying to conflate it with feminism.
The U.S. will pay for climate change whether or not the Green New Deal is in place.
The question is: Will we invest in a bold plan to boost the economy or will we pay for the damage from intense hurricanes, floods, droughts, wildfires, sea level rise & ecological devastation.
I believe that impeachment is inevitable. It also is a terrifying notion. Nations struggle any time they overthrow a dictator, and Trump really has the markings of a dictator. https://t.co/cduTmOxous
Medicare for all is not some crazy idea.
It's supported by 70% of the American people.
It's co-sponsored by more than 100 members of Congress.
It's what we must do to end the international disgrace of being the only major country not to make health care a right.
@shockwave12k @neeratanden@IronStache@BernieSanders I’m not disagreeing with the content of your tweets, I’m disagreeing with your approach. You can make points about ideas without resorting to attacks on the person.
@shockwave12k @apgroner@neeratanden@IronStache@BernieSanders “If you do not appreciate it then you are in denial” is another example of a phrase that does not contribute to the discussion and helps centrist Dems build the antagonistic narrative around Bernie supporters. Please reconsider your approach.
@shockwave12k @neeratanden@IronStache@BernieSanders This is not helpful. Yes, Bernie has always been good with people and policy oriented. Yes, he campaigned for HRC after the convention. No, he hasn’t always vocally condemned vitriol enough. “What is wrong with you” does not contribute to the discussion in any way.
This 💯💯💯
When everything finally clicked for me, I just felt disgusted with what I’d been doing all my life. Very easy to stick to something after that.
