   Y'all should've supported #KamalaHarris instead of mocking her when she forcefully called upon Twitter to suspend Trump's account. Now he is blatantly threatening Rep. Adam Schiff (he takes this as a threat). How many more threats will y'all accept?pic.twitter.com/1cQ71NR5py https://t.co/GUsfQnawR4

   ⁦@BernieSanders⁩ has been running for POTUS for 5 years

   He’s at 15% with Black voters.

   That’s a STRONG indication that his message DOES NOTA resonate with the MOST marginalized people.

   Think about WHY that is. pic.twitter.com/lLVnLRPgTu

   I think we understate just how high we set the bar for Barack Obama. And now, to watch the American presidency be sullied without a word edgewise from the GOP is telling…

     We could lose the Republic. First time in my life I thought that was possible. Could be replaced by some very corrupt hybrid of oligarchy and faux democracy.

     I used to think that the majority would always prevail. Now we know that isn’t true.

   This is a bad result for Bernie—he needs big margins to prove he can mitigate his massive 20%+ deficit in the south and 35-40% deficit with Black voters. He can’t just tie. Needs huge wins in white states https://t.co/sdlH38Irqb

   Again: *Any* candidate not currently running away w/black voters needs to be asked about their strategy headed into South Carolina and Super Tuesday and why they have not done better with black voters before now. The path to the nomination goes through this crucial electorate.

    It is if you suffer from back, knee, chest or joint pain, auto immune diseases, diabetes, heart disease or a stroke. It is if all your friends are dying in their 30s and 40s because of their weight. Losing weight is more than being skinny! It's a glo up! I'm in less pain. https://t.co/K3TIRIBcZq

    Trump was worried about Obama bugging Trump Tower with sophisticated CIA techniques, but he's able to get recorded by small-time crooks at dinner for 85 minutes totally undetected.

    Imagine what Russia has on him.

    Remember how the good old days, when the press kept saying how the palace need to get rid of them & how they are “minor royals”. And how no one supports them & distancing themselves to now “they are senior royals” & begging for them to return.

    This @NatashaBertrand story is perfectly timed.

    It shows Russia's disinformation campaign against Ukraine began in 2015.

    & today's impeachment arguments show that this conspiracy spread like a virus under Trump, infecting US policy at the highest levels. https://t.co/0duMZIhLLc

    Naw, they both want there free shit. If Trump voters could GUARANTEE that black/brown voters wouldn’t get the benefits, they’d support Bernie’s vision. Since they can’t, they’d rather have nothing than see black/brown get anything.

    That's what Bernie and Liz play into…the feeling that black and brown folks can be screwed by the system but not white people. It's white resentment and grievance politics that demands their needs be centered above all and that diversity is an inconvenience.

    I have posted before:

    There is nobody least surprised by the GOP than Black people living in those red States. They know exactly who these people are. They know that they didn’t change when Dolt45 became President. They were this way when 44 was President. BUT, when 44 was President, they had the protections of the Federal Government. They want those Federal protections back. 

    Period.

    They want the Federal Government to put their foot on the necks of these red state GOPers.

    Period.

    And, whomever they believe will do THAT, is going to get their votes. 

    THAT is the most immediate concern for them….

    THAT will affect their day to day lives.

    Not programs that may or may not have a chance of getting into legislation.
