    This system is more toxic than any tweet linking to a C-Span video
    I passed this in the hospital hallway going home one night after one of my sister’s surgeries and I think about it all the time

    Good article in my unsolicited opinion should do a speech from the depth of his heart about who he is and who is not. And make the people decide who they are. via

    . must accept responsibility for his surrogate telling our campaign co-chair Senator that she doesn't have standing to invoke the words of Dr. King. That is unacceptable and Joe must apologize to Nina and all the people of color supporting our campaign.

    The threats against me & others on our campaign on this website have become increasingly aggressive. I’m not talking about mean tweets of C-Span videos. I’m talking about open threats and calls for harm. I have a pretty thick skin, but this is not OK.

    As of this writing, neither CNN nor MSNBC has mentioned that a Nazi unfurled a swastika flag at a Bernie Sanders rally last night. The New York Times covered it, but buried the story in a blog post about Sanders cancelling a rally in Mississippi.

    "organize the hunting packs" -- this is the absolutely grotesque state of the discourse right now
    Replying to @AaronBlake @joncoopertweets
    Look Sanders could have dealt with this since the problem started in ‘15. Instead he hires Sirota and Bree Bree who organize the hunting packs. No serious effort was made to stop this. Almost any other campaign would have ended this.

    A Nazi unfurled a swastika against a Jewish presidential candidate, and people on this hellsite are spending the morning insisting that tweets of C-Span videos are the really toxic thing in American politics 👇
    Replying to @tomwatson
    Absolutely. She should name names. David Sirota is a menance to society.

    Last night, a Nazi unfurled a swastika against a Jewish candidate for president. Please never, ever, ever again lecture anyone about how you think real "toxicity" is a few tweets of links to the Congressional Record.

    Hey dude — the “nastiness” isn’t me tweeting a few links to C-Span videos, it is an actual Nazi unfurling a swastika against a Jewish presidential candidate:
    Sanders hired Twitter attack dog David Sirota as a senior advisor to his campaign. The nastiness is by design.

    Our campaign has faced some of the ugliest and most toxic attacks — and it had been unceasing. And when I say “toxic” I’m not talking about tweets of links to the Congressional Record — I’m talking about ACTUAL toxicity
    We must stand tall against this hate. May ⁦⁩, and all who love and support him, remain safe.

    In fact, Biden declared the opposite. He literally pledged to his big donors that if he is elected, "nothing will fundamentally change."
    We are living in the Second Gilded Age. I have yet to hear declare that he wants to end it.

    Genuinely cannot believe there are people on this website who pretend Joe Biden never suggested cutting Social Security. One of a zillion examples: "Biden suggested a gradual increase in the retirement age would help improve the Social Security system.”

    Seriously, someone tried to wave a fucking swastika flag at the Sanders rally tonight in Phoenix. Can we please stop talking about mean tweets? There is so much at stake at some much that matters more than our mentions.
    “The senator is aware of the flag with the swastika on it and is disturbed by it,” Sanders spokesman says. The protester was behind Sanders while he was speaking, but aides told him about it afterward.

    Sanders made a longer critique of Biden than usual at his Phoenix rally, and rolled out some new criticisms in addition to his usual comments about Biden's record on IraqWar/trade/Social Security: He went after his past support for "don't ask, don't tell" & the Hyde Amendment.
