How many times does @JoeBiden have to tell you he wants to cut Social Security for everyone to believe him? And how many video clips have to exist for people to worry that these would likely all be devastating Trump ads, if Biden is the nominee?
A 3-part thread...

Huge National News: A no-audio clip of 2 people seeming to disagree
Not News: A long clip of @JoeBiden on the Senate floor screaming about how proud he is that he has been trying to cut the Social Security benefits that millions of people survive on.

The war in Iraq turned out to be the worst foreign policy blunder our country has ever made.
I voted against that war. I did everything I could to prevent that war.
Joe Biden cannot say the same. #DemDebate

Bernie should hit Biden relentlessly on this over the next three weeks. Biden’s support is soft (i.e. uncommitted), contains the highest quantity of 2nd-choice Bernie voters, and the demographic with whom Bernie most needs to improve (i.e. people of social security-earning age)
We can all disagree vehemently. But I have two requests:
1. Don’t resort to degrading, dehumanizing personal insults
2. Don’t ascribe degrading, dehumanizing personal insults to anyone’s campaign, unless you have actual proof that it is coming from that campaign
Onward
All of these grotesque insults come from supporters of other campaigns, but I have never once responded by blaming those campaigns or ascribing the hateful personal insults to those campaigns or candidates, because that would be completely ridiculous and dishonest.
Thread: in the time that I’ve worked in this slog of a job, not a single day has gone by where I haven’t been personally vilified and/or threatened, in sickeningly degrading & ad hominem language, some of directed at both me & my family. Just name search my last name for examples
Here’s an incredible thing: you have CNN publishing corporate consultants like @JoeLockhart insisting that Bernie may be too risky a nominee...all while we absolutely know Trump will weaponize videos of @JoeBiden proudly congratulating himself for trying to cut Social Security

I want to reiterate something and ask you to retweet it:
A continent is literally on fire as climate change threatens all life on Earth — and every leading 2020 Dem other than @BernieSanders is trying to help Trump pass a trade bill that would make the climate crisis worse.
Most important moment of the #DemDebate was @BernieSanders being the only leading Dem with the guts to oppose Trump’s trade deal, and CNN trying to shut him down for saying the deal is awful for climate change — and Bernie just powering thru while his opponents looked dumbfounded

Third Way is a Wall St think tank whose mission is to destroy progressive Democrats, even if that means reelecting Trump
CNN publishes @JoeLockhart without mentioning that his job is literally to “provide reputation counsel to CEOs and C-suite executives” https://www.edelman.com/news-awards/joe-lockhart-joins-edelmans-public-affairs-team …

The @washingtonpost published an op-ed today slamming Bernie Sanders and Medicare for All that was written by execs at a think tank that gets funding from CVS Health, which owns insurance giant Aetna, and pharmaceutical companies https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/01/15/bernie-sanderss-agenda-makes-him-definition-unelectable/ …

The @BernieSanders campaign is about unifying people across our country - not dividing them up by race, ethnicity or gender. Forget those who are trying to divide us, focus on building the progressive movement & be positive to succeed!#MenWomenUnited

Congrats to CNN for continuing to spend hours of airtime analyzing a single averted handshake & not one moment of airtime on @JoeBiden trying to cut the Social Security program that millions rely on. Takes an impressive commitment to not focus on issues.

Congratulations to CNN for spending lots of airtime trying to interpret silent body language at the end of the debate, rather than @JoeBiden trying to cut the Social Security program that millions of human beings rely on to survive. Great work. #DemocraticDebate
