  1. A real thanks to for speaking out with passion against the unacceptable concentration of wealth + power in America. Tom, you have helped push our party away from the corporations and toward the grassroots, where we belong.

  2. No, , most Americans really DON’T like the status quo. Shouting out that you oppose change + you disdain the “revolutionary” idea that working people deserve a better America - well, THAT’S not the way to beat Trump. will see you on the playing field Tues

  3. . makes a key point: Bernie did better than Biden with White working class voters in SC. We saw the same in NH. We need those voters back in the Democratic coalition. That is Trump’s worst nightmare. Only one person brings them back:

  4. . this is really getting obnoxious, brother. A lot of us admire your contributions over the years, but bristle when you use words like “scary” about the guy who actually can motivate people to vote: . Change is not scary. You used to know that

  5. Congrats for a well-earned victory. But makes crucial point: from now on this is a national election. The person who consistently leads in national polls + key March 3 states is . The person who beats Trump in most polls:

    As the person who ended ’s racist + counterproductive Muslim surveillance program, I will tell you what he won’t: it actually made us LESS SAFE. It bred resentment and distrust, just when we most needed to bring our police and our Muslim community together. Failure

    On PBS, generously tells us not all Muslims are terrorists. What a relief! I don’t know what I would have done if he hadn’t clarified it. What an awkward conversation that would have led to with the 1000 loyal patriotic Muslim Americans who are members of the NYPD!

    There’s an easy, calm, “reasonable” way rationalizes the discrimination that ran through many of his policies. It’s a gentleman’s racism. If they are young + Black “throw them against the wall and frisk them.” But said only as a social engineer from his high perch.

    There is a special narcissism to billionaires. They can’t see like the rest of us. Here’s what actually happened, : I called for an end to your broken policies, got elected + changed them. None of us needed to “learn” what we already knew. The people had told us

    “And hopefully my successor has learned from my mistake.” That’s what said on CNN last night. Everyone, this is the level of wealth-backed, self-centered delusion we got used to. His successor + thousands of others told him he was wrong FOR YEARS WHILE HE WAS MAYOR

    Yes, PLEASE ask NYC teachers how treated them. You will get an earful. He attacked + denigrated our educators + their union. He blamed teachers + treated THEM as the problem, instead of the solution they really are. I have spent 6 yrs healing + fixing what he broke

    . is right: you can’t beat a Republican with another Republican. , if you wanted to run for President as a Democrat one day, you shouldn’t have abandoned our party when it was convenient for your political career. U bought the Republican label, u own it

    As the guy who actually ended the Stop + Frisk policy + settled the lawsuit + sent Bloomberg’s police commissioner packing, let me answer that question: YES, stop and frisk was racist! And stood by it til last year. If he weren’t running for Pres, no apology

    Purveyors of Conventional Wisdom are telling us tonight that can’t be elected President because he’s different. Just like they said about Donald Trump. Just like they said about Barack Obama. The truth: you CAN’T be elected in America today UNLESS you’re different.
