@dallasfrosty @dereckapurnell @HillaryClinton @realDonaldTrump @GOP @BarackObama Trump has ALREADY, IN OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE STATEMENTS, indicated he desires to stay in power as President BEYOND 2024. This is how dictatorships always start, historically. He was never going to be a 1-term president. The GOP has been working on this since Goldwater & Reagan. — PolitiTweet.org

@dallasfrosty @dereckapurnell Even @HillaryClinton couldn't beat @realDonaldTrump & the @GOP. They cheat, remember? And that was with @BarackObama doing everything humanly possible to stop Russian interfering. With Trump HIMSELF in charge of election integrity?? With BIDEN as his opponent?!

@GodLovesUgly22 @dereckapurnell To continue the analogy from the article, who would make a better relationship partner, the guy who brags about committing sexual assault while attacking #metoo or the guy who sniffs little girls' hair while endorsing #metoo? Both are toxic af. This is the choice they've given us — PolitiTweet.org

@leskerniii A more accurate phrasing might be your gen was the last where it was possible to raise a family by working. It takes more than 2 incomes to raise a family today. On avg if you have 2 parents working 1x job ea (vs 2 or 3) they'll both be in a lot of debt. Work is the wrong answer. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

@leskerniii I take issue with your phrasing in that it implies more wage earners per family is a feasible solution. In the reality of it, because of student debt, gentrification, medical debt, starvation wages, & childcare, a 2nd wage earner can actually LOWER your fam's standard of living — PolitiTweet.org

If you had made 30% more money every year starting from when you were age 18, how much easier would it be, now, for you to survive? To get medical care? To have reliable transportation? To take a vacation once in awhile? To raise a family? To thrive? How much easier would it be? — PolitiTweet.org

When I was 18, minimum wage was $5.15, which had the same purchasing power as $7.80 in 2020 dollars. You can look up your own conversions using the US Bureau of Labor Statistics data here: https://t.co/8KGrdWH4Vo — PolitiTweet.org

It's amazing to me Folks our parents' age can literally calculate compound interest by hand yet STILL refuse to believe us, when we say we're poor because their generation screwed us At age 18, my dad's min wage was the equiv of $11/hour in 2020 money Mine was $7.80 30% less — PolitiTweet.org

@BriannaWu @Leatherman @TSA They sell them? That's so shady. I asked if I could ship it to myself from the airport post office instead of them confiscating it, and they said you could if it were open right now. In retrospect I should have paid the $25 to check the bag instead. Lesson learned 🙃 — PolitiTweet.org

@YKzII2P6zxICxTD @Leatherman @TSA Good call. They're available for about half that. I might still look around for something cheaper. I liked the Wave model but I really just used the knife more than anything — PolitiTweet.org

Hey all! I used to have a gifted @Leatherman Wave multi-tool, til I forgot it in my bag from my last public speaking road trip & @TSA confiscated it at the airport last year. I'm looking at replacements & they're like $150! Anyone have an old multitool they wanna give or sell me? — PolitiTweet.org

@owlice @abigailStev @Starbucks Boomer is not really a generational insult, it's about classism, privilege, and the idea that success is the result of "hard work" and not being white, Christian, straight, and growing up in an environment where a summer job pays for college, and "starter homes" are a thing — PolitiTweet.org

Compassion is not a trait. It is a skill, & you get better at it with practice. Same with being ethical. You study ethics, practice living them out, & it becomes who you are. As you practice compassion & become a better person, you'll notice more opportunities to be better, too. — PolitiTweet.org
