It's pretty fun to watch @AliVelshi own @JohnDelaney on Medicare for All. Velshi: "I'm a Canadian and I believe @BernieSanders plan is the best one to bring our costs down because it's what most other developed countries have." https://t.co/6zuV6DzrAg — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of dollars were spent electing some of these "moderate" Democrats in 2018 who spent the year talking about defending the most vulnerable. Now these same Democrats no longer have the appetite to take on Trump's deportation machine. https://t.co/poQ9YhGExZ https://t.co/cIQ91CLVpF — PolitiTweet.org

The Republican Party is not a good-faith negotiating partner. Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic leadership needs to stop treating them as such. They got played -- again. — PolitiTweet.org

"These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power." -FDR, 1936 Democratic convention — PolitiTweet.org

"Freedom is no half-and-half affair. If the average citizen is guaranteed equal opportunity in the polling place, he must have equal opportunity in the market." -FDR, 1936 Democratic convention — PolitiTweet.org

"The political equality we once had won was meaningless in the face of economic inequality. A small group had concentrated into their own hands an almost complete control over other people’s property, other people’s money, other people’s labor—other people’s lives." -FDR, 1936 — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

It's incredible reading FDR's speech at the 1936 Democratic convention. FDR's central message is to expand the political freedoms guaranteed by the US Constitution into economic freedoms. The Democratic Party is returning to this theme in 2020. https://t.co/48cN10rK1N — PolitiTweet.org

So what would the top marginal tax rate be for multi-millionaires under a Biden administration? What about a tax on wealth or a financial transaction tax? — PolitiTweet.org

"Roosevelt is a socialist, not a Democrat," said Republican Rep. Robert Rich in 1935. "The New Deal is now undisguised state socialism," said Republican Senator Simeon Fess. "The president's recent statements remove any doubt of his policy of state socialism." — PolitiTweet.org

"No one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change,” Biden said to a roomful of wealthy donors. "You’re not the other. I need you very badly...I won’t let you down. I promise you." I'm still shocked this was not a bigger story. https://t.co/RGtDbMtelb — PolitiTweet.org

"Bernie and I have been friends forever. Long before I ever got involved in politics, I went up to Vermont and did town halls with Bernie.
