This seems like a straightforward description of democratic socialism + a well-established position on the relationship between liberalism and socialism that has support within Marx's writings. Odd to see so many responding with outraged incredulity. https://t.co/dELt2ea3Pv
I have never seen anyone self-immolate as fast as @LiebermanForGa. Dems are competitive in both GA Senate races. Lieberman- son of Joe- is acting as a spoiler against @ReverendWarnock. Turns out Matt hosted a fundraiser for Lindsay Graham. Drop out dude. https://t.co/wJbHWgFLo9
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and former Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn. — previously dubbed “The Three Amigos” by retired general David Petraeus — headed on Saturday to Arizona’s Oak Creek Canyon, where they went hiking and waded in water. McCain’s daughter Meghan joined the trio.
I have to give a thumbs up to McCain’s great t-shirt though.
I hope Cindy gave it to him because I badly need to hear something good about her.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has tested positive for the coronavirus, becoming the third senator to announce in the past two days that they had contracted the virus.
Johnson’s office said in a statement on Saturday that he was exposed to an individual on Sept. 29 who has since tested positive for the virus.
“After learning of this exposure, the senator was tested yesterday afternoon. This test came back positive,” his office said. “Senator Johnson feels healthy and is not experiencing symptoms. He will remain isolated until given the all-clear by his doctor.”
Johnson’s diagnosis comes as the country is reeling after President Trump announced that he had tested positive for the coronavirus. He is now at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, a move the White House said was being taken “out of an abundance of caution.”
In addition to Johnson, Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) both said on Friday that they had tested positive for COVID-19.

If they wouldn’t get tested then they wouldn’t be sick amiright?
As required by law, Biden’s transition team is preparing for a smooth transfer of power should Biden win the presidency. The teams typically line up candidates for key appointments and prepare to implement policies early in the new president’s administration. Biden’s team says it is focused especially on the pandemic and its economic fallout.

Good Gawd. Either way, the shitshow continues, and the working class is on the downhill end.
It’s totally insane and cruel that people whose livelihoods depend on customer tips, and who more often than not have no health benefits, are tasked with enforcing mask-wearing & distancing on recalcitrant diners. Restaurant workers should get hazard pay https://t.co/4Nk1gzw4H5
I have not been to a restaurant since the lockdown, so I don’t know what goes on inside them nowadays, but one would hope that a manager would step in when necessary.
We’ve went out to est on occasion to our mom/pops but only for outside seating, our servers were masked up whether inside or out, customer were mostly unmasked inside. Now that winter is fast approaching were back to take out only.

You are braver than we are. We don’t eat anything that wasn’t prepared in my kitchen. I pack Hubs a week’s worth of healthy food when he goes out, and he stays out of the truck stops. Neither of us has eaten anything prepared outside our house since the beginning of the whole thing.
"Segal and Teachout have been waived off by liberals whose culture of learned helplessness has led them to insist that there is no point in trying to delay Trump’s pick. But fighting these battles is always worth it — you never know what might happen." https://t.co/lgMRC88oz3
Judge Amy Coney Barrett, the President’s nominee for the US Supreme Court, was diagnosed with coronavirus late this summer but has recovered, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
Barrett, and her husband, Jesse, were diagnosed. Jesse Barrett was asymptomatic but Barrett felt “a little under the weather but recovered,” one of the sources said.
How close did all those now afflicted get to Amy in meetings (with masks on?) and/or at her coming out event?
Barrett tested negative for coronavirus on Friday, according to White House spokesman Judd Deere.
Barrett, who is tested daily, was last with the President on Saturday when Trump announced from the White House Rose Garden he would be nominating her to the Supreme Court, Deere said.
All week, Barrett has been meeting in-person with multiple US senators on Capitol Hill.
Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican who serves on the Judiciary committee, announced Friday he tested positive for Covid-19, just days after meeting in-person with Barrett on Tuesday.
Lee also attended Trump’s event in the Rose Garden on Saturday, where multiple guests were seen not wearing masks nor social distancing.
The most beloved liberal pundits — including the ones employed by major media outlets — have spent 4 years spreading and endorsing utterly deranged QAnon-level conspiracy theories with no accountability. This is the mentality dominating liberal discourse – CNN edition: pic.twitter.com/ozI14Zib9b
The liberals who have spread conspiracy theories every since Clinton lost twisted my sister horribly, changed her as a person. So, yah, I’m pissed at them.
They took/take advantage of people’s fears towards absolving Clinton of any blame for her horrible campaign, with the end result being Trump, and to scare people away from progressive policies.
Biden freakin’ sure does need to get it together. I hope that the Biden ad I saw last night was broadcast because it was too late to pull, because it came across horribly!
Joe was yelling at the camera, scolding everyone to wear a mask, how it should have been mandatory since the beginning, blah blah, meanwhile many people are quite anxious about the President being in a hospital. It was a crass turnoff.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has tested positive for COVID-19, he announced Saturday, making him the latest official in President Trump’s orbit to contract the virus.
“I just received word that I am positive for COVID-19. I want to thank all of my friends and colleagues who have reached out to ask how I was feeling in the last day or two,” Christie tweeted. “I will be receiving medical attention today and will keep the necessary folks apprised of my condition.”
Christie was at the White House last Saturday for Trump’s announcement that he was nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. The ex-governor was spotted interacting closely with others in the Rose Garden without a mask.
A few of these unhealthy obese yahoos are going to croak from this disease. Which ones? T and R, humphrey!! 😊☮️👍 Hubster and I voted today by mail. We can track the ballots getting delivered and counted. I was going to skip POTUS but voted Green only cos I do not trust the FRightwing yahoos who control things at the state level anymore. I hope the People’s Party turns out to be legit. The Greens are a joke. They have had years to gain power but blew it. 😡
I've gotten death, rape & deportation threats on here for years (incl. recently after being QT by a blue check fascist) & nothing happened to those ppl.
It's funny how it only becomes an issue when a ruling class nazi POTUS (who regularly incites violence & hatred) gets sick 😒 https://t.co/Vi6p7YiN2D
The four progressive Democratic congresswomen known as “The Squad” expressed surprise on Friday night when Twitter posted about its policy against wishing harm or death to someone in light of President Trump’s Covid-19 diagnosis.
Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts have all spoken out about the threats they receive on social media and say Twitter isn’t doing enough about it.
Responding to media reporting Friday about people wishing death to the President, a verified account run by Twitter’s spokespeople tweeted, “tweets that wish or hope for death, serious bodily harm or fatal disease against *anyone* are not allowed and will need to be removed.”
“Seriously though, this is messed up. The death threats towards us should have been taking more seriously by [Twitter],” Rep. Rashida Tlaib tweeted in response.
Reps. Ocasio-Cortez, Omar and Pressley also tweeted suggesting Twitter had not taken threats made against them seriously.
Members of The Squad have often been victims of brutal social media attacks, including posts that have expressed wishes for their deaths.
A quick Twitter search of their names followed by “hang for treason” results in tweets from users calling for the deaths of the congresswomen.
Trump's physician keeps dodging the question of whether the president has been on supplemental oxygen, and also moved the timeline up on his diagnosis by a whole day. He was getting antibody therapy 2 days ago.
It's impossible to learn anything here because they all lie so much.
10 doctors in lab coats delivering news about Donald Trump’s condition. He’s living at a hospital & got emergency use authorization for a drug other Americans can’t get. Imagine what could have been if Trump took 7 MILLION Americans getting infected as seriously.

Some people had a problem with that? I liked that tweet from Jacobin.
Like father like son!💩
Yikes.
But not very surprising, really.

Let’s just hope Biden transition team advisory board member Cindy McCain isn’t listening to any ‘advice’ from son-in-law, and The Federalist publisher and co-founder, Ben Domenech:
Good Gawd. Either way, the shitshow continues, and the working class is on the downhill end.
Yep, it’s all about free healthcare to those who can well afford it.
Kinda of hard to eat with a mask on.
I have not been to a restaurant since the lockdown, so I don’t know what goes on inside them nowadays, but one would hope that a manager would step in when necessary.
They don’t necessarily. And the mom & pop restaurants, the service people only wear a mask around their mouths, not both nose and mouth.
We’ve went out to est on occasion to our mom/pops but only for outside seating, our servers were masked up whether inside or out, customer were mostly unmasked inside. Now that winter is fast approaching were back to take out only.

Barrett: Clarence Thomas’s white female equal. Just as stupid, too.💩
I would think it is closer to evil rather than stupid.
Same thing.
Did you all hear that Amy had coronavirus in ‘late’ summer?
How close did all those now afflicted get to Amy in meetings (with masks on?) and/or at her coming out event?

hold onto power by bringing up the Cold War
not change policy agenda by following Bernie
I tried to vote your reply up twice, lol, click, click, click
Btw Don, thank you for sharing your Peace Corps story, I read it this morning, very interesting! You’re a cool cat.
The subtle and not-so-subtle Bernie hatred really turned otherwise loving people against him and I will never forgive that.
It’s about his policies.
LOL! It is just one happy family.🙄

Who is the older woman who appears to be about to get a hug from Amy? She looks like she may be in the high-risk zone-anyone checked in on her lately?
Biden freakin’ sure does need to get it together. I hope that the Biden ad I saw last night was broadcast because it was too late to pull, because it came across horribly!
Joe was yelling at the camera, scolding everyone to wear a mask, how it should have been mandatory since the beginning, blah blah, meanwhile many people are quite anxious about the President being in a hospital. It was a crass turnoff.
I certainly don’t think Biden should stop campaigning!
But I think it’s time for him to try out a different tone. The ad I saw last night on tv seemed like it probably did more harm than good.
Personally, I’d pivot to the obvious need for good health care, but even that would need to be handled carefully.
Cry me a river.

If the peoples party gets an endorsement from Bernie it should do well
With Medicare for All he would have the same medical coverage that we all do.
The same great coverage.
Twitter bans posts wishing for Trump death. The Squad wonders where that policy was for them
Twitter needs suing.
I saw the very beginning of the press conference-that’s some team Trump has looking after him!
Couldn’t help contrast all those doctors lined up behind Trump’s doctor to the kind of care most people get.
How many Americans rely on the on duty ER DR as their only access to health care?
But… but… those sevin million Americans weren’t HIM.
The orange maggot croaks, it croaks. They lie so much who knows? Beyond disgusting. Watching the Preakness. 😊🐴
