In 2016, more youth voters voted for @BernieSanders than Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump COMBINED. Bernie was far and away the preferred choice of young voters.
But Democrats, ignoring that, instead went with the moderate establishment candidate.
And Trump won 30 states.
30!
When I study what happened this weekend around Europe, mainstream, moderate politicians lost in a MAJOR way. It's not what people want. And without fail, all over Europe, people rejected middle of the road parties and middle of the road politicians. It's historic.
Imagine this... The nation CURRENTLY has active movements for A Green New Deal A $15 minimum wage Medicare For All The end to never-ending wars Major justice reforms Comprehensive immigration reform IMAGINE choosing the nominee for President who doesn't support those things.
That ANYBODY looks at what we are experiencing in this country (and around the world) right now and determines that what we need to do is meet people in the middle is astounding to me. Only a first class level of aloofness could see 2019 and decide to go to the middle.
The zeitgeist right now is #Populism. We ignore that at our peril. The only #Populist running for President right now is
@BernieSanders. Others are trying to pretend but they are all fakers or wannabes, with Trump as the most effective faker. Again, we ignore this at our peril.
Corporate media are saying that EU voters rejected 'the center' but that center has moved rightward for decades. What voters in US & EU are rejecting en masse is the neoliberal 'consensus' of global oligarchs. #TheResistanceRises
People globally justifiably angry especially over profound lack sane leadership anywhere thanks2now bonded neocon+neoliberal matrices. Corp media so corrupt no reliable narrative on reality unless one digs hard for truth on own within social media that has not yet been censored.
The real problem was people sitting out 2016 or voting 3rd party, because their candidate, Bernie didn't get the nod! Are Berniebots or Berniebros going to do the same thing in 2020?!
Polarization is not a good thing. Young people don't understand the consequences of what they desire. I fear they will soon figure it out.
Speaking of have you read up on @marwilliamson ? I feel like you would love her and her policies.
I also think she has more of a shot than the pollsters are allowing.
Decades of neolib, "centrist" politics gave us the white supremacist sexual predator we have in the oval office now. But yet Biden is still being forced on us.
anyone gonna tell this clown that Europe isn't America?
People rejected left parties, liberal parties actually gained.
The biggest mistake Democrats can make is voting for Bernie.pic.twitter.com/yh9En3BoHt
