an extremely popular senator showed up at a rally he agrees with outside the capitol building, where he works, and because he is an extremely popular senator the crowd wanted him to speak

the organizers are less important here than the crowd imo. they've been persuaded by the outsized voice of hillbot twitter that perfidious bernie is trying to co-opt them, but the people knew what they wanted

the organizer who tweeted that definitely doesn't appear to be a hillbot though

sure, I doubt his intent was malicious, but it's not great

If taking the mic taken away from wonderful, effective progressives like pelosi is the worst thing they have to experience, it's still a metric fuckshit better than the treatment they really deserve.

those other tweets are from 3 years ago

teenagers are not great in general at discerning nuances such as "bernie voted for those bills as part of a compromise which made the bills, which would have passed regardless, significantly less horrific". she seems to feel burned by bernie due to his past stances on gun control, which is now understandably the issue she cares about most, without really investigating why bernie did what he did. partially because hillbot twitter spams deeply misleading propaganda images about his record wrt guns.

this doesn't mean youth political activism is bad or anything. the kids are rad. but they will make mistakes in perception that don't make sense to someone with more than a couple of years of political awareness

To be fair there’s an incredibly high bar you have to clear to qualify. I applied a while back and while my written exam scores were good I couldn’t pass the credit check so I had to settle for being heteroflexible.

As a total aside, it's been amazing watching the charlatans at cambridge analytica suddenly being considered evil wizards. The fucks who spent the entire primary campaign working for the wildly competent Ted Cruz campaign are now single handedly responsible for denying Clinton the win she deserved.

the election of trump was preprodained, unstoppable—there’s nothing anyone could have done differently to have changed the outcome, except for bernie and jill stein to have not campaigned, but certainly nothing hillary or the dems cpuld have done

If the situation was flipped the GOP would have filibustered the poo poo out of it. Or at the very least, none of them would vote yea.
