    I’m serious: I left DC years ago. I have no desire to work in a White House. I love Colorado & never want to go back to DC. And my wife is in the legislature. I sacrificed my entire career to do this godforsaken slog of a job because my kids’ future depends on a Green New Deal

    Lol at the Washington Post - which has been running negative pieces about this politician for years - worrying that Bernie Sanders hasn't gotten enough "scrutiny."
    Opinion: When will Bernie Sanders get the scrutiny that top-tier candidates deserve?

    JOE BIDEN: “When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well. I meant Medicare & Medicaid. I meant veterans’ benefits....And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a 3rd time & I tried it a 4th time.”

    CONTEXT: “Biden voted for a landmark Reagan tax bill that slashed the top income tax rate & exempted many wealthy families from the estate tax...He then called for a spending freeze on Social Security to reduce the deficits that tax law helped to create”

    You may wonder why I'm endorsing Bernie. Maybe you think it's inappropriate, that scientists aren't supposed to endorse politicians. It's because I love this Earth, and my kids, way too much to stand on the sidelines while the world burns.

    Yeah, not seeing your kids for long stretches of time, getting shit on all day, and being regularly demonized as an antichrist equivalent of Stephen Miller = a “slog.” But also: it’s all worth it to elect

    I have no plans to leave Colorado, and would gladly never serve in a White House in exchange for people voting for the candidate with the policy that is most serious about ending the climate crisis now threatening all life on Earth.
    Replying to @KHiveQueenB
    I don’t want Bernie as president mainly because I don’t want little shits like Sirota as WH staffers.

    This video of Joe Biden explicitly bragging about his efforts to cut Social Security has gotten almost 200,000 views:
    The fuss over that video of Biden in NH made me think: There are hours of videos of Biden saying stuff that's anathema to Dem voters. But no campaign's using it! By this point in 2016 every Dem had seen Hillary's old "superpredators" quote a billion times

    The best thing you can do to support the troops is not go to war pass it on.

    Can't believe it's 2020, and there's a Democratic presidential candidate who was the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman who played the key role helping the GOP ram the Bush/Cheney Iraq resolution through the Senate. Just incredible.

    The only winning Democratic presidential candidate in the last 20 yrs was a candidate who opposed the Iraq War. Biden helped lead America into the Iraq War. Dems don't have to nominate an Iraq War proponent. There's a candidate who has shown better judgment:

    We need a leader who will be ready on day one to pick up the pieces of Donald Trump's broken foreign policy and repair the damage he has caused around the world.

    *stares at dozens and dozens of polls showing bernie beats trump*
    The fundraising and staying power of have def been underestimated but his argument that he is the most electable (esp given views among even Dems on M4A) just isn’t born out by any data...
