You know who gave Trump the White House? The many millions of people who didn’t vote at all because they didn’t like the candidate or platform in 2016. Instead of harping at leftists you hate, maybe call some non-voters? Maybe appeal to the 40% of independents in the country? — PolitiTweet.org

Shouldn’t the people who spend all day trolling and policing leftists on twitter be instead spending their time phone banking for Joe Biden? Seems like a really strange use of their time. 🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

@mathes_mark What if my priority is to beat Donald Trump and I’m deeply concerned that the person headed for the Democratic nomination may achieve the opposite? If the election was next week, we would be having a different discussion. But it isn’t. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@mathes_mark I said trolled because if you know my work, you know I’m opposed to Trump yet you accuse me of supporting him. Having serious concerns about Biden’s record and ability to beat Trump is quite different from supporting Trump. The election isn’t tomorrow! — PolitiTweet.org

@mathes_mark Yet you have time to troll me yapping about supporting Trump when one of us (me) has spent his entire time in office fighting against his policies and the other (you) can’t point to anything you’ve done to oppose Trump except tweet at me. — PolitiTweet.org

@mathes_mark I have 3.5 years of constant reporting on & opposing Trump’s fascistic rule. I gave a speech at the major anti-Trump event in DC the night he was inaugurated after being hit w a rubber bullet at protests against Trump and have railed against him ever since. What have you done? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

For people who say Biden wasn’t the one to make the decision to go forward w the WI primary, so he had no choice but to support it: Is that also true of other policies? Why should Biden say anything opposing any bad policies according to your logic? He has no power right? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

If it shouldn’t have come to that, why didn’t you call to have the election postponed when it mattered? You exhibited atrocious judgement by saying there was a safe way to vote in person. It’s easy to say this after the fact. It was madness to take the opposite position before. — PolitiTweet.org

@meaganmday See, now what this comment shows about BernieBros like you is that the Frank Luntz poll reinforces the Nazi comparisons made by Chuck Todd and Chris Matthews, which were driven home with a chyron comparing Sanders to the coronavirus that Neera Tanden smiled at while sipping pinot — PolitiTweet.org

@KatzOnEarth Sanders took one hop. For many of his supporters, it would require them to take two hops, one of them a very long one. And many of them will do just that and hold their noses and vote for Biden. But my point is on the attempt to cram the Sanders movements into the horse race box. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

Anyone who thinks that the social movements who backed Sanders campaign are going to just be folded into the Biden campaign b/c Bernie endorsed him doesn’t know anything about social movements. People who organize 24/7/365 outside the electoral arena aren’t for sale. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

Corporate pundits have always misunderstood Sanders base(s). It is largely not people who view Sanders as the answer. He was overwhelmingly viewed as an imperfect electoral vehicle to argue the case for radical change in an arena dominated by corporate & partisan power. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@meaganmday Actually, “Not me, some of us,” would be a fairly accurate slogan for the corporate wing of the Democratic Party. — PolitiTweet.org

@ABFalecbaldwin Setting aside the discussion about what I think of Cuomo as a political figure, Biden promised Democrats he would choose a woman as a running mate. What do you think would be the fallout/impact if he reversed that decision after very publicly promising it in the final debate? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@young_maymay I’ve said before and elsewhere that I hope that “I’m not Trump” is enough for Trump to be defeated, but I’m genuinely concerned that Biden is not up to the task, policy wise or other, of beating Trump. I also find Biden’s record extremely disturbing. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@young_maymay Take a look at my work for the past 3 weeks, the past 3 months, the past 3 years and see how ridiculous you sound: https://t.co/98h6PWFSJp — PolitiTweet.org

@NewellBaldelli @nytimes Feel free to look through my feed for the past 3.5 years. Also, the overwhelming majority of my work for that time has been reporting on Trump’s atrocities and fascistic actions. But you sat there and ignorantly hit that tweet button without checking: https://t.co/98h6PWFSJp — PolitiTweet.org

@GEEPENNIN @briebriejoy @nytimes You should tell the NYT that they were wrong when they issued their statement acknowledging they changed the text in the article, as we all told you. You obviously know better than the NYT what they did and didn’t delete or edit. — PolitiTweet.org
