Beth is famous from that segment.

This is the woman from CNN who described me as an angry lefty Bernie bro making goo-goo eyes at Richard Spencer.

I'm sorry, but CNN are not sending their best, I assume some of them are good people. 😏 https://t.co/LAkDeHmDVY

JonLP started the topic The Washington Post’s War on Bernie Continues in the forum General Discussion 4 days ago

The headline of their sole report on the platform: “Sen. Bernie Sanders Changes Medicare-for-All Plan in Face of Opposition by Organized Labor.” To justify such a spin, the paper seized on just one detail from the plan — a mandate that employers raise employee wages with savings from Sanders’s separate Medicare-for-All bill — and framed it a…[Read more]

The progressive side of Twitter keeps me sane. Beth is one of my favorite accounts on there.

don't want to brag but, CNN just just described me as the head of the 'army of online angry supporters'👇https://t.co/rwMHcMY5Yy

Ugh. She posted the same thing on Facebook. I feel ill I can’t discuss this anymore.

Facebook doesn't have a problem with people calling for a lynching of Ilhan Omar. pic.twitter.com/O9kjv037Ax

When was the last time we legally hanged someone?

JonLP started the topic David Duke and His Twitter Nazis Got Mad at Me. Twitter Took Their Side. in the forum General Discussion 5 days ago

MY TROUBLES BEGAN last March when I made a joke on Twitter about Fox News host Tucker Carlson. I have some advice for you: Do not ever do this.

Twitter is notorious for its passivity as users are abused by its large contingent of Nazis, Christian Identitarians, Odinist/Wotanists, fascist furries, and presidents of the United States. When…[Read more]

Look Trump was being investigated by Mueller & actual FBI agents where was this person calling for Trump to be hanged if found guilty? Her calling for her to be hanged over a baseless conspiracy theory is enough for me to support the headline. I’m more upset about all the hate she has received than semantics of a headline.

JonLP replied to the topic Twitter Bans GOP Rival Of Rep. Ilhan Omar Who Called For Her Lynching in the forum General Discussion 5 days ago

Exactly. It is obvious and I don’t buy it is anything other than what it really is.

JonLP replied to the topic Twitter Bans GOP Rival Of Rep. Ilhan Omar Who Called For Her Lynching in the forum General Discussion 5 days ago

The GOP rival deserved the ban and is likely a racist as most right wing nut jobs are. I live in a red state so people can’t tell me conservatives aren’t racist as I have interacted them with many times.

If she was sharing intelligence the FBI would be on her this was a BS unproven allegation that even the US media isn’t covering.…[Read more]

JonLP started the topic Harris' aides believe Gabbard attacks accelerated 2020 woes: report in the forum General Discussion 5 days ago

Advisers to Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., believe that her plunge in the polls over the summer was accelerated by a withering attack in a primary debate in July by Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, that left the then-front-runner reeling and donors “alarmed,” according to a new report about her struggling presidential bid.
In a lengthy deep-d…[Read more]

JonLP replied to the topic Community Groups Write an Open Letter to MSNBC President about Unfair Coverage of Andrew Yang in the forum General Discussion 5 days ago

I’m no fan of Yang and he is the candidate I can’t figure out the most but the MSNBC coverage is obvious against him. Tulsi is treated the worst while Sanders is treated unfairly there as well. MSNBC has gone downhill ever since they hired Andrew Lack.

JonLP started the topic Job loss predictions over rising minimum wages haven't come true in the forum General Discussion 6 days ago

Eighteen states rang in 2019 with minimum wage increases — some that will ultimately rise as high as $15 an hour — and so far, opponents’ dire predictions of job losses have not come true.

What it means: The data paint a clear picture: Higher minimum wage requirements haven’t reduced hiring in low-wage industries or overall.

State of play: Opp…[Read more]

JonLP replied to the topic Why is the left hated around the world? in the forum General Discussion 1 week ago

To be honest it is the right wing that makes a big deal about transgender bathrooms. I post at a football message board where there are conservatives and someone brought that up in the context of LGBT bashing. It is like the right wing & immigration. I live in Arizona and it is not a big issue for me, I support immigration reform because the…[Read more]

I think this Tweet answers some questions.

Jeremy Corbyn as UK Prime Minister would be a massive blow to the hegemony of neoliberalism and all of its toxic institutional appendages.

That's why every conceivable attack is being unleashed against him. It's one of the last stands of the neoliberal order & they know it.

I think you’re right. That was my main guess.

JonLP started the topic Could a 'youthquake' cause Boris Johnson to lose the general election? in the forum General Discussion 1 week ago

A surge in young people registering to vote ahead of the UK general election has led to predictions that a “youthquake” of young voters could remove Boris Johnson from office.
Over 3 million people applied to vote since the election was called, 67% of which were made by people under the age of 34, who tend to be significantly more likely to…

JonLP started the topic Why is the left hated around the world? in the forum General Discussion 1 week ago

It seems like bad conservative policies especially when it comes to economics are treated normal and anyone to the left of them is hated. Even among Democrats in the US they hate anyone to the left of them but make conservatives like Rick Wilson are heroes of the Resistance even though he worked for a third party campaign (which some people hold…[Read more]

JonLP replied to the topic Obama Will Reportedly INTERVENE to Try To Stop Bernie Sanders. You Should Take Him at His Word in the forum General Discussion 1 week ago

It would be like when Romney spoke up to try to stop Trump. I don’t understand why they treat him like Trump. Education, health care, expanded social security how horrible.

JonLP replied to the topic MSNBC wages war on Tulsi the dove in the forum General Discussion 1 week ago

I don’t think non-interventionist accurately describe her views. I think she has a common sense foreign policy that isn’t built on double standards & hypocrisy. The so called war on terror has been more about regime change wars in countries that had nothing to do with 9/11. If the US was consistent on Democracy or Human Rights they would have done…[Read more]

Polls show Vermont senator’s base is more dedicated than that of any other 2020 Democrat
Bernie Sanders’s most adamant backers expect that he will be the Democratic nominee for president, but if it ends up looking like someone else may take that title, they want Mr. Sanders to put up a fight.

Mr. Sanders’s campaign has made it clear that to win t…[Read more]

JonLP replied to the topic US Rep Ilhan Omar accused of being a foreign agent – legal deposition in the forum General Discussion 1 week ago

I see mostly Israeli sources reporting this. I’m sure US news would be all over this if it is true.

Handing classified information to a foreign government is a crime you can be charged with. In fact this is the #1 thing they charge spies working for a foreign government with.

If this was true she could be arrested by the FBI which is why I’m…[Read more]
