I have a crazy idea, hear me out here for a second:
We shouldn't let a billionaire buy an election like he'd buy a corporation.
We should use our votes to make sure that doesn't happen.
Honestly, one of the most incredible moments of the #DemDebate2020 was @MikeBloomberg casually, almost flippantly mentioning as an aside that he spent $100 million on something
Bernie Sanders is the unity candidate -- pass it on https://bernie.substack.com/p/bern-notice-4-data-points-showing … #DemocraticDebate
USA Today's most recent poll: "Suburban women, a key voting block that helped Democrats flip the House of Representatives in 2018, also favored Sanders." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/02/15/bernie-sanders-tops-other-democrats-trump-likability-ipsos-poll/4754500002/ …
Worth adding: the revolutionary politics of the 1960s also brought us Medicare and Medicaid. #DemDebate2020

Hey @PeteButtigieg, the revolutionary politics of the 1960s brought us the civil rights movement! Check your history!
#DemDebate
Every candidate other than @BernieSanders didnt get the most votes in the first 3 elections of 2020
Every candidate is performing less strongly in polls than @BernieSanders against Trump
Yet every non-Bernie candidate is stammering around insisting they are the most electable

Before you read insurance lobbyist talking points pretending Medicare for All is fringe, remember: supporting Medicare for All is the majority position not only among Democratic voters, but among U.S. House Democrats. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/08/02/huge-deal-majority-house-democrats-have-signed-medicare-all … #DemDebate
Gonna say it again: @MikeBloomberg is the $400 million candidacy of a man who is used to being able buy everything, but who is now having a televised temper tantrum because he might not be able to buy the Democratic primary. #DemDebate2020
.@BernieSanders successfully added $11 billion to the ACA to fund community health centers.
@MikeBloomberg was slammed by The NY Times for being “checked out” as community hospitals were shutting down in low-income areas of his city. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/12/opinion/wrestling-with-dying-hospitals.html … #DemDebate2020

This is almost all of the other candidates on the #DemDebate2020 stage pretending the richest country on the planet cannot afford to guarantee health care to all people, like every other industrialized country 
A theory: @JoeBiden pushed to cut Social Security for decades, and he was mad that @BernieSanders successfully convinced the Obama administration to not do that, and to instead work with Bernie to support expanding Social Security. #DemDebates
Also, you can listen the audio of @BernieSanders in early 2011 making explicitly clear that he would not run a primary against Barack Obama.

March 2011, Bernie makes clear he has no interest in primarying Obama:
"If a progressive Democrat wants to run, I think it would enliven the debate, raise some issues & people have a right to do that. Ive been asked whether I'm going to do that. I'm not" https://www.wnyc.org/story/118406-bernie-sanders-speaking-independently/ …

Excellent point. Hopefully he was merely misinformed. Proud to support our next President, the person who can win WI, @BernieSanders!

BIG NEWS: The Yale University author of the landmark Lancet study on health care financing says @BernieSanders' financing plan will fully pay for Medicare for All

Messina lies off the bat here, saying that "not one single swing state member of the House and Senate has endorsed Bernie." @MarkPocan and @IlhanMN have endorsed Bernie and are in swing states.
Here's @BernieSanders in early 2012 introducing & campaigning for Barack Obama:
“I am extremely proud to be here today to say that we are all together going to do everything we can to reelect Barack Obama as president of the United States.”

Probably worth mentioning the primary source for this debunked, garbage story has worked for Third Way, the corporate-funded think tank working to defeat Bernie
Here is @BernieSanders introducing and supporting Barack Obama early in 2012 during Obama's reelection bid
One of my favorite parts of campaigning is door knocking and phone banking. I just love it. So Denver friends -- come on out on Thursday & phone bank with us to support @BernieSanders. Spread the word. https://www.mobilize.us/sandersco/event/209382/ … #copolitics
Back of the envelope here -- if @MikeBloomberg gets a 2% annual return on his $64 billion fortune, the interest alone in a single year is enough to finance a $1.2 billion campaign to buy the Democratic primary.
