Twitter sucks but the whole RT (user name): (poo poo) format is a really common way to do things so people can't just delete their garbage

It also looks like you're endorsing the opinion out of context because you don't know how to quote tweet. If you're really worried about somebody deleting their tweets, you an always screencap it, embed the image and it won't count against the character limit at all.

E: I also just checked, and quote tweeting doesn't count against character limit. It's only if you're copy-pasting a hyperlink.

Maybe we can teach people how to take screenshots after the "record videos horizontally" reeducation campaign.

The phone is designed to be held vertically. It is no surprise everyone records and takes pictures vertically.

Certain people have an ideological expectation of office holders serving the public interest instead of private interests. Wow. Incredible.

It's called disabling the camera until the phone is in the correct orientation

phones are legitimately a thousand times harder to hold sideways. Why cant they just install the camera so that it takes landscape pics when held vertically :negative:

When was the last time an incumbent democrat got primaried by a progressive? I can't think of one. Established republicans were afraid of the tea party and now the trumpists. No democrat is afraid of Bernie Sanders. If a supporter of loan sharks pay day lenders Debbie Wasserman Schulz couldn't get knocked out then the Corey Bookers of the world have nothing to fear. I hope Corey Booker tries to make "national bankers day" a holiday to drive the point home.

The dems successfully primaried Lieberman in 2006, but then he ran as a centrist independent in the general and won anyway. could be a lesson there, 2006 was a democratic wave election and the leftist challenger still lost to Lieberman.

I'm reasonably sure there was strategic voting by the Republicans on that one, combined with a bunch of apathetic people voting for the incumbent.

These factors are not unique to the 2006 Connecticut senate election. Primarying centrist incumbents is by no means a silver bullet.
