    Ahem. ⬇️ Voter suppression isn’t a bug; it’s a feature for the GOP. Wisconsin, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, Florida...you name the competitive state, and I can tell you their plan. They’re just finally saying the quiet part out loud.

    “.. on Wednesday, the most diverse Congress in history declared that even the most powerful white man in the world should be bound by them. When Republicans act as if that’s a sacrilege, they show us what they worship.” By ⁦

    I am interested in the fact that Mayor Pete is mute when Bernie and Biden attack but goes into TED talk mode against the ladies.

    It’s a problem that both the women want to ask for forgiveness for being passionate and direct. Absolutely not.
  • Yes! This too! HE DEFINITELY KNEW WHERE HE WAS: Biden 2020

    I miss and his immigration plan. Everyone should just have said: "I'll listen to on immigration."

    Biden's answer on immigration is revisionist history. Let me just give one example: he notes that he have "cherry picked" from each country, which is a casual allusion to white supremacy.

    Biden answers the reparations question by talking about immigrants coming here to work hard? What? What.

    I think my least favorite debate quality is "I'm the only one up here who's above all this." Just stop it. You're running for president. You're at the debate. Stop.

    pete buttigieg right now: “i’ll take anybody’s money if they’re givin’ it away”

    if Pete wants to lecture someone who actually grew up working class that's his business, but I doubt it will go as well as he thinks
  •   Retweeted
    Is...he arguing that he likes money? Is that his argument to being accused of being bought and sold?
  •   Retweeted
    Pete is also the only person on the stage who grew up rich, i'm pretty sure.

    attention politicians: lincoln’s “house divided” speech wasn’t a plea for bipartisanship, it was an argument that for resolving irrepressible conflict over fundamental issues of democracy.
