Suspending mortgage payments but not suspending rent is one of the most clear-cut examples of class warfare imaginable.

this bs myth of "coalition building through compromise and being nice" that's being peddled right now is premised on the absurd notion that alt-centrists aren't purely driven by their material self-interest to protect the status quo by any means necessary. it's self-preservation
Duke Greene retweeted
most important lesson to learn from past 5 years is alt-centrists prefer fascism to even the mildest form of social democracy and will use all resources and institutional power available to them to kill it off, and accommodation doesnt work. you need to fucking rip their face off
Duke Greene retweeted
Pretty insane that @briebriejoy is trending rather than the fact that tomorrow, millions of people who’ve been laid off are going to lose their employer-based healthcare bc of the absurd system @JoeBiden @PeteButtigieg @KamalaHarris @amyklobuchar fight to keep

Pelosi’s entire schtick is preemptively dismissing things as unrealistic that would, by definition, be realistic if she, the most powerful democrat in the universe, supported them
Duke Greene retweeted
I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that most people really think it would be a bad thing if everybody's material needs were taken care exclusive of whether or not they work, and really would prefer it if people who don't work die.
Change this mentality, change the world.

let's all just agree to tweet the name of every person who ever existed with the gif of denzel holding his chest so we just get em all over with in advance

People were wondering why Biden would hire Harvey Weinstein's damage control team.
Well, now you know. He knew what to be prepared for.

These comparative analogies don't work. The person making $31K will miss that $5 in a totally different way than the billionaire whose life will be wholly unafffected by the $25M. It's an accounting error for them.
If Zuckerberg donated $150 BILLION, he'd still have $3 BILLION.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) statement: "I stand with the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe in their fight to restore lands that belong to them & oppose the disgraceful decision by the Trump Administration to disestablish their lands held in trust by the Department of Interior." @SenSanders

Statistically, you're safe. The vast majority of deaths from COVID-19 have been of people who aren't you.

Warren claimed Sanders said "A woman can't beat Trump" and EVERY news outlet covered it FOR DAYS. Biden has SEXUAL ASSAULT allegations against him and....media silence. If you don't see what's going on, you're just not looking.

I was all in for #TeamJoe. I thought @JoeBiden was the best candidate we had to face Trump, but after seeing Bernie single handedly fight Republicans to ensure all workers receive unemployment benefits during the #COVID2019 crisis, I'm 110% #Bernie2020. #ThankYouBernie #NotMeUs
Duke Greene retweeted
How would a @BernieSanders administration respond to this crisis? I think we know. Ordinary Americans would be getting $2k a mo. to hold us over (he fought 4 this in the Senate debate & loss). Big corporations would not get as much as they are & would not get "no strings" bailout

You have zero excuse for supporting a candidate who opposes Medicare for All at this point.
3.3 million people just lost their “if you like your employer benefits you can keep them” benefits.
Healthcare can never again be tied to employment.
