@aem7312 I brought up the fact that hating Sanders doesn’t address Biden’s serious problems. Yelling “BUT BERNIE BUT BERNIE” doesn’t do anything to change Biden’s horrendous policy record. Or make him somehow a great candidate vs Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

@vexedinthecity I hope I am wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@CopperPipeDream @marcushjohnson You really think this is a sport huh? It’s not about Sanders. It’s about Biden, the most likely nominee. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@vexedinthecity Again, I’m not making any point about Sanders. I’m making a point about Biden, the presumptive nominee. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@marcushjohnson I think the electoral college is an abomination. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@CopperPipeDream @marcushjohnson Millions thought that with Clinton too. Last I checked, she isn’t president. It’s called history. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@vexedinthecity I wish we didn’t have the electoral college. But we do. And there’s a long list of people who should have won but didn’t under this system. That is likely to happen with Biden too. — PolitiTweet.org

@tomandreed *you’re. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@marcushjohnson Clinton is not President. Dukakis wasn’t President. Mondale wasn’t President. You keep making this about Sanders. It’s about Biden being a bad candidate. Address that. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@vexedinthecity No. I’m reading the history of Democrats choosing the “moderate” or “establishment” in the primary and getting crushed. It’s also what the party did with Dukakis against Jesse Jackson. Obama was the outsider/alternative to Clinton and he won. Big. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@Sarahdeters I’m not making a claim about Sanders. I’m making a claim about Biden, based on history, his terrible policy record, his multiple allegations of sexual assault or inappropriate behavior toward women. Also recent ABC/WaPo poll on lack of enthusiasm for Biden *among his supporters* — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@marcushjohnson I think that’s a fair point of inquiry for sure. It doesn’t change the fact that Biden is a terrible candidate. Being against Sanders isn’t an answer to the major problems of running Biden in the general. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@aem7312 Where did I claim that was the case in the Democratic primary? This is in reference to the latest ABC/Wapo poll that shows enthusiasm for Biden in the toilet AMONG HIS OWN SUPPORTERS. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@DreedleGeneral If Biden has a better platform and less horrible, inexcusable bad policies and wasn’t accused of sexual assault and other horrid behavior toward women, maybe he could win people over. Maybe focus on that if you want people to be excited about Biden? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@Potterchik Who are you quoting? You do know what quotes are for right? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@marcushjohnson Or, as I actually said, we could take a serious look at the problems of running Biden: he lies a lot, has a terrible policy record on important issues, has been accused of sexual assault and inappropriate physical behavior toward women. It’s not about Sanders. It’s about Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@karlgroves @cjmark810 Yes. I am focused on beating Trump, which is why I remain appalled at the idea of a Biden nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@DreedleGeneral I think you need to do a bit of reading about Obama to Trump voters. You seem to be extremely ill informed. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@Madame__Serena What about those of us who haven’t voted, including my family in Wisconsin, a crucial swing state? Do they count? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@DreedleGeneral You cannot force ordinary independents to become members of the Democratic Party because you want them to be. That’s not how any of this works. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@DreedleGeneral Are you aware that there are more independents than Democratic voters by quite a large margin? Sanders wins among independents, meaning non-Democrats. These stats are truly meaningless because they ignore that fact. Also, look into Clinton supporters backing McCain in 2008. — PolitiTweet.org

@LoriHannah58 If you aren’t deeply concerned by this, then you are truly delusional: https://t.co/CNhJAGOqQN — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@LoriHannah58 Because I don’t believe Biden—with his atrocious record, documentable and consistent lies, allegations of sexual assault and harassment of women—can beat Trump, I’m therefore supporting Trump? Great logic. — PolitiTweet.org

@ASFried @iambobtheblob You keep saying this and tagging me. Do you not believe that a woman who says a man forcibly penetrated her vagina with his finger constitutes an allegation of rape? — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@lorneyasbin If you believed, based on historical analysis and facts, that running a particular candidate would lead to a fascist remaining in power, would you let it go? That’s what many of us are saying about Biden. And we won’t let it go. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

On @intercepted, @NathanJRobinson and I went through Biden’s terrible record. If you listen to Biden, in his own words over the decades, you will see clearly why he is a terrible candidate to run against Trump: https://t.co/u8FTjxYkq1 — PolitiTweet.org

@cjmark810 I don’t work for the Democratic Party. I’m deeply concerned that Biden’s atrocious policy record, repeated lies, allegations of assault and inappropriate conduct toward women, among other factors, will aid Trump tremendously in November. I’m not going to play make believe. — PolitiTweet.org
