So Bill DeBlasio thinks that African Americans voted for Biden are low information voters whose primary reason for voting fr the VP is because of his connection to Obama...I guess POC like myself aren't bright enough to look at someone's political resume.

This is why

matters...it’s not that he reported on the matter, it’s the one-sided way in which he reported about a story without noting the endless red flags...things that Bros could care less about...
I’m with
@MichaelJStern1
here. I believe
@JoeBiden
didn’t do this. Period. The less air time it gets, the better. Stern’s powerful analysis says all that needs saying, although we can expect the echo chamber to keep it alive through the campaign.
Releasing the babies I'm cages and reuniting them with their families should be issue number one for Biden...issue two should be granting the families the asylum they deserve.
70 Million people voted for Donald Trump and that man has brown children in cages!

Tho I still have zero confidence in the numbers, it’s rather interesting that the guy who had 100 percent name ID and poured 50m into Iowa lost to a mayor from South Bend with a last name most reporters could not get right till a couple of months ago.
Here's my raw, unedited footage from Congressman

media scrum this morning in Stamford.
It's been a while since I saw Congressman, but I had a strange feeling that the public might be interested in what he had to say ;-)
I'll start a thread of highlights...

NEW CBS NEWS NEW HAMPSHIRE POLL:

1. This article is stupid.
2. This "poll" was conducted by a laughable right-wing group (Club for Growth).
3. Cuomo is considered "less progressive" than Biden...ask Cynthia Nixon.
4. The alt-right and alt-left who peddle this nonsense are desperate.
Nice to know that Sander’s big tent includes people who equate African-American communities to “Planet of the Apes,” bigots, and misogynists...but let’s ignore that for Medicare for All...

4. That same small town mayor beat you in Iowa despite all of the above.

It's time to stop calling Trump a "Russian dupe." The truth is much worse.
Trump is an *active and willing* ally of Putinism, and he is *knowingly and deliberately* aligning himself with it, to serve his own corrupt and malevolent ends.
New piece:
A striking admission: Donald Trump just openly stated that making it easier to vote in Pennsylvania is a direct threat both to the Republican Party and to *his own presidential campaign.*
I'm glad the
@JoeBiden
stated that we had enough debates and is basically putting Bernie in his rear view mirror….and I love that he’s live-streaming his remarks/press briefings with the media…it's refreshing.

This is hard to watch...
Sen. Bernie Sanders on Super Tuesday results: "One of the things I was kind of not surprised by was the power of the establishment to force Amy Klobuchar, who had worked so hard, Pete Buttigieg who had really worked extremely hard as well out of the race."
