@PodSaveAmerica @danpfeiffer @jomalleydillon @davidplouffe @quentinfulks @stefcutter Over 90 minutes and not one person mentions Gaza policy or a looming WW3. Am I wrong to think the threat of our country going to war could really move votes toward the isolationist candidate?. Like obviously Trump isn’t Anti-War but he sure campaigned as one….

@EndTribalism Translates to:. “I want friends on both sides - even if one side consistently chooses the rich over the rest, I still want to be able to ball out with billionaires. I just don’t want people to think I’m not down to earth too.”.

@jonfavs I’m sorry but off days like THAT aren’t acceptable during a job interview with a 4 year contract. It’s more a national security issue for me because I think the reasons there are more wars is because we don’t seem to be in control of the very foundation of our country. Scary.

@mehdirhasan Look at 0:04 when she says it correctly then “corrects” herself to say it wrong. Worst part for me is the two white people across from her who smile and show they don’t really care.
Michael Eric Dyson and I had to correct Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) at least 10 times last night for purposely mispronouncing Kamala Harris’s name. “I will say Kamala’s name any way that I want to,” Mace said. This is what the Republican Party has become. 🤦🏾♂️

@PamKeithFL There was a concerted effort to paint Trump as an Anti-Interventionist. I saw many republicans cited the lack of foreign wars during his time. Is it accurate? No. He had war hawk John Bolton in his administration! . But time and time again Trump will say what he needs to win.

@AShihipar I think our food is fine if you, like a tourist, go out to eat for most of your meals. The issue is that most Americans would go bankrupt if they ate the healthier food in restaurants for all their meals.

@RossKneeDeep Since then, we have had a complete erosion of social structures and communities. People live in their own individual bubbles and scroll on their individualized feeds. After enough time they lose the ability to play nicely with others and now we are here. Sharing space is good.

"You're not asking the questions that Americans give a s--- about.". Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN), who is challenging Pres. Biden for the Democratic nomination, expressed frustration to reporters in New Hampshire after repeated questions about how he may influence the 2024 race.

Politicians cannot vote their conscience when they know that if they defy billionaire-funded Super PACs, millions will be spent against them at the polls. We must get Big Money out of our electoral process.

@s8n Hate to give credit but it’s true…. The older generations’ death grip on power is actually weakening all of us. I was told my generation will need to fix things but I don’t see a lot of people who look like me (in age) in positions of power to actually change things….

@RichyCraven Gonna be honest there are several “American minds” in my life that cannot comprehend this. But…. with nearly half a billion dollars in funding politics has become more about performance than about policy.
With Harris raising $284.1M and Trump at $217.2M, it’s clear that big money in politics comes at a cost to everyday Americans. When money talks, who gets sidelined? Us. Let’s change that. Join the #ForOurFreedomAmendment movement. ✊

@deanbphillips As a leftist, I’m not in opposed to killing terrorists I am in opposition of collective punishment for Palestinians because if there is to be a two state solution, both sides must be treated equal. Also as a leftist, I can say murdering a civilian in broad daylight is not okay.

His candidacy will age like fine wine. Shame on you @DNC for suppressing democracy. You have really disgusted this Democrat. I will vote for Biden if it comes down to it but Deans Decency will still get my vote in a primary. You didn’t deserve him.

@ob_cycler So those but like make them planters and start to naturally shade the roads. Literally contain them.
@DCCarViolence @DCDPW @DDOTDC @AdamsMorganNews @AdamsMorganANC Why don’t we do vine canopies since that road looks kinda brand new… . Grow them off site but then install them and slowly encase the roadways… natural reduction in both noise and carbon pollution. Use the planters for bike lane protection and run netting across for shade!

Have yet to receive my absentee ballot to vote in Pennsylvania despite applying 2 weeks ago when I realized I cannot vote here in Washington State until I have established residency for 30 days. But I am glad I could use Amazon to entirely furnish my new apartment in that time.

She says “Vote for @deanbphillips” at the Super Bowl and changes the course of history. (In my ideal multiverse). #DeanMachine #Dean24.
Taylor Swift is the biggest and most influential endorsement target for the Biden campaign, according to The New York Times. The campaign reportedly developed a Taylor Swift strategy to get her endorsement, and even floated the idea of having him attend the Eras Tour.

Remember if you vote #uncommitted those delegates can still vote for Biden. Thankfully your other choices on the ballot weren’t afraid to face each other on the debate stage! . So please do your homework. The test is only filling in a bubble. @deanbphillips @marwilliamson
