Bernie SandersVerified account

You are high-fiving a billionaire for threatening the press. Terrible look for an alleged progressive. But standard for an angry millionaire.

We're talking about The Center for American Progress. That's not an independent institution, it's influenced by corporate heavy weights like Tom Steyer. It's interesting how you have no problem with corporate influence when it comes to candidates like Kamala Harris, for example.

Think Progress and CAP are not the same entity. In fact, Bernie's campaign manager created Think Progress. My journalist's complaint is Sanders applauding a billionaire for agreeing the press should be silenced. But your false narratives are duly noted for what they are.

Oh don't think we care about what Tom thinks or says Bernie. We are the base, & we will vet you. From your rape essays, to your war record, to taking money from the DoD, to you praising Daniel Ortega, & stood at a rally where the Sandinistas chanted Die Yankees Die.

You refuse to be held accountable for your actions & votes. You can't run on your pathetic 28 year career in D.C. if you could, you would. Fact is all you can rum on is ideas as that's all you've talked about for 50 plus years & nothing else. You haven't done anything in D.C.

“Thank you Mr. Billionaire, for using your wealth to silence my critics.” —a true progressive

But, you see, when it benefits Bernie Sanders, it is morally good.

You suddenly don’t have a problem with billionaires threatening the press now, you mealy mouthed hypocrite?

let’s also get rid of caucuses and make every state use a primary system

i have a caucus in my state and i’m already dreading it. and i love politics! it’s such a hard sell for the apolitical joe to show up at these things. and that’s ignoring the ways it disenfranchises huge swaths of people.

We need some federal legislation to make the primary processes more regular and easier to understand. Every party in every state should: - Use a primary, not a caucus - Have same-day registration - Have open elections, vote in only one primary but affiliations don’t matter

Further, all elections should be conducted like in Seattle: - Paper ballots - Drop boxes / pre-paid mail-in - Two week voting window - Comprehensive voter guides We have some of the highest turnout rates in the country using these methods

(We actually don’t even have party affiliations)
