    Imagine comparing a Jewish person whose relatives literally died in the Holocaust to the Nazis
  • The most empirical, fact-based measure of electability is whether you are actually winning the most votes.

    Can someone do a wellbeing check on Chris Matthews?

    There will be dissertations written about the last few hours of MSNBC. Historians will dissect it for years.

    “A squeaky, angry minority.” MSNBC is gonna be must-watch TV the next few weeks. Carville follows by calling Putin the real winner today.

    Chris Matthews just compared Bernie's victory in Nevada to the Nazis taking control of France. Incredibly offensive thing to say about someone from a family of holocaust survivors.
  • I’ve known for 21 years. I remember how much the establishment scoffed at him, and I marveled at how he never got demoralized & never wavered from his agenda. It is truly inspiring to see all that determination & all that movement building start to change history.
  • A few days ago, read a passage likening Bernie voters to Nazi brown shirts. Now Chris Matthews is likening Bernie’s campaign to a Nazi invasion. Bernie is Jewish and his family was killed by the Nazis. None of this is OK.
  • Just gonna re-up this

    FOR THE FIRST TIME: A (Dem or GOP) candidate (Sanders) has won the popular vote in all 3 early states: Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada.

    MSNBC is wild bc it’s like 2 minutes of Steve Kornacki being reasonable and informative and then just people losing their g**damn minds for 40 minutes
  • I have a really crazy idea, hear me out here for a second: Cable TV news should have more contributors who respect, represent and are connected to the Bernie movement, and fewer who insult the Bernie movement whose agenda has huge support among Dem Party voters.

    OH MY GOD. just did it again. They just compared the campaign of , a Jewish man whose family was slaughtered in the holocaust, to Nazis overtaking Germany.

    For once, I'm not being sarcastic here. I'm dead serious. I'm really, really insulted by a major pundit on an allegedly liberal news network comparing a Jewish candidate's overwhelming caucus victory to the French losing a battle with the Nazis. Get this lunatic off the air.
  • A unity candidate is the one who gets the most votes from voters in primaries and caucuses

    Damn: Now looks like Bernie has won caucuses at Bellagio, Mandalay, Park MFM, Rio, and Wynn, tied at Harrah’s and lost Paris. He is the Culinary workers’ candidate!
  • While some folks here on twitter dot com spend their days tweeting demands that I be fired for posting C-Span videos, I’m focused on making sure Donald Trump gets fired in November.

    Unintentionally revealing comment from Nichole Wallace just now: “I have no idea what voters think about anything any more.”
  •   Retweeted
    "These are people who work on the strip within two and a half miles of the Bellagio, largely people of color of those, the majority are Latino, and they are clearly at least from eyeballing it, *LARGE SIGH* strongly in favor of Bernie Sanders"

    Actually, I rebuilt Detroit’s health department. We provided kids 6000 pairs of glasses; made sure schools were lead safe; & took on major polluters & won. Work like this happens because of the organizers, activists, & agitators who make history happen. How’s that for a “bro?”
  • The Sirota household here in Denver just cast two votes for the next president of the United States. Feels good.
  • Counterpoint: We don’t need pious lectures on “divisive behavior” from the billionaire who literally endorsed George Bush, backed the Iraq War and deployed a stop-and-frisk policy that terrorized communities of color
