    This is an obvious truth that basically nobody is allowed to ever utter, but that everyone absolutely knows is 100% true, even as they indignantly deny it.

    I'm not moving to DC no matter what, so I'll speak a truth that's not allowed to be said: Joe Biden is a full-employment program for the Beltway Democratic establishment. He makes sure that for them, nothing would fundamentally change. That's a huge part of why they support him.

    Personal note: Though I dont agree with her depiction of Bernie's legislative record, I havent said a single negative or critical word about Elizabeth Warren, who I know & like. Some of her folks have said negative things about me, but I've never blamed her for that. That is all.

    Once again, David Sirota viciously smears Biden by quoting Biden’s exact words.
    Worth stating a fact: If you're endorsing and/or voting for Biden, you're endorsing/voting for a dude who tried to let states repeal Roe & then bragged about his anti-ch…

    Thousands are dying every year because they can't afford health care. A climate crisis threatens all life on the planet. And promised his billionaire donors that if he is elected "nothing would fundamentally change."

    I genuinely cannot believe there are people who are so Extremely Online that they are actually factoring in fantastical visions of me into their voting decisions
    listen I know I'm breaking rank here but if you want someone more progressive than Joe & isnt likely to hire David Sirota as his chief of staff Elizabeth Warren is still running & still an option

    McConnell is saying he wants to work with the next Dem president to cut Social Security. has worked with the GOP for 30+ years to try to cut Social Security: helped block Joe's efforts to cut Social Security. Vote accordingly.
    One interesting point of context: McConnell has told me he hopes to work with next Democratic President to trim Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. Says you need bipartisan deal to do so.

    Joe Biden promised his big donors that if he wins, “nothing would fundamentally change.” Now you understand why Davos billionaires, Wall Street executives and Washington lanyards are supporting him. Thanks for attending my TED talk.

    Biden’s campaign is bankrolled by a super PAC led by health care industry lobbyists: Biden’s campaign is run by a longtime pharma lobbyist, and his first 2020 fundraiser was with the CEO of a health insurance corporation:
    The contrast on health care in a Sanders-Biden race would be very stark. Unlike basically all other moderates — Buttigieg, Klobuchar, O’Rourke — Biden is not running on universal health care, pushing a public option that per his campaign would leave 10 million w/o insurance

    We still believe that Biden would be a uniquely weak challenger to Trump, forfeiting the high ground on corruption, the Iraq War, and even while being forced to defend his record on mass incarceration, bankruptcy, credit card companies and banks.

    The reason the establishment is boosting Biden, a weak candidate with a ton of baggage, is because they don’t care if they win. They’d like to, but they don’t have to. They’re not rationing insulin, drowning in debt, living paycheck to paycheck. They’ll be fine either way.

    Worth stating a fact: If you're endorsing and/or voting for Biden, you're endorsing/voting for a dude who tried to let states repeal Roe & then bragged about his anti-choice record in a press release lauding himself for being "one of the Senate's most conservative Democrats."

    NEW MEMO: "Trump is pushing Social Security cuts & Mitch McConnell says he wants to help a Democratic president cut Social Security. Joe Biden spent 30 years trying to cut Social Security, while Bernie fought those cuts and pushed to expand the program."

    I'd like you to read this memo, and then make sure everyone you know reads this memo. And I mean everyone -- because if Democrats nominate a candidate with Biden's record, it means Donald Trump may win the general election. And that is not acceptable.
