Total Meltdown: How One Emoji From Hillary Clinton Set Off A Delicious Explosion in The Midst of Bernie Twitter

One emoji. One emoji from Hillary Clinton is all it took to set the entire Bernie Sanders social-media sphere in complete and total meltdown mode. Clinton, whose righteous indignation against Bernie Sanders is an oasis of sanity for many, promoted a tweet that featured a video clip of hers from 1993 advocating for health care reform. The original tweet, by the commentator Chantay Berry , noted that Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders by about 27 years on the idea of lowering the eligibility age for Medicare, something Sanders’s fanclub has hailed as the best thing since running water now that Sanders has said he’s for it. Clinton’s contribution to the conversation? One emoji. She quote-tweeted Berry with a single, googly eyed emoji. 👀 https://t.co/IIgSSbCDUC — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) April 19, 2021 She may as well have thrown a lit match into a pool of gasoline. Cosplay socialist Twitter-sphere exploded. Briahna Joy Gray, former Bernie Sanders national spokesperson who onc

Leftists Didn't Get Biden Wrong. They LIED About Him.

With Joe Biden running a near-flawless presidency that is capable, progressive, and popular, his leftist and socialist detractors, who spent an entire year hounding him as a milquetoast moderate, have a new strategy: claim, as Donald Trump did for the spread of COVID , that “no one could have predicted” that Biden would turn out to be a progressive president, that his lean-in economic progressivism is a surprise, and that they made him do it. I, too, have a new message: they’re full of it. SHOT: THE BIG LOSERS. I am old enough to remember a February morning in 2020 when the socialist writer Anand Giridharadas appeared on television with MSNBC’s Joy Reid, with the topic of conversation focusing on just what was turning so many Democrats to a populist socialist candidate like Bernie Sanders. Sanders, who was swimming in campaign cash, was riding high at the time from performing well in Iowa (where he still lost), New Hampshire, and Nevada, and his supporters were crowing about how quickl

Nina Turner Hits the Panic Button

Nina Turner was flying high when she filed paperwork to run for Ohio's 11th Congressional district special election for the House seat formerly held by now-Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Marcia Fudge. Turner, a former Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein surrogate who used her position as the president of a Sanders-aligned dark money group to pad the pockets of her own cronies and members of the Sanders family , entered the 11th district race as the prohibitive favorite. Her highly visible roles at the two Sanders for President campaigns gave her near-universal name recognition, and money quickly started pouring into her coffers from far-left activists while she racked up early, high-profile, alt-left celebrity endorsements from the likes of Bernie Sanders himself, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ro Khanna, and the like. Her campaign was so bullish about her chances that in June, they released an internal poll that they claimed showed Nina Turner had a massive, 35-point

White grievance dominates woke progressivism, even when its faces are people of color

Socialist writer Anand Giridharadas interviewed former Bernie Sanders national campaign co-chair Rep. Ro Khanna for his newsletter, and the product was an illuminating example of how badly white-centrism - and in particular anti-Black bias - pervades the institutional underpinnings of far-left media. In the interest of full disclosure, I am a constituent of Khanna's. Khanna and Giridharadas are both people of color and are both faces of the somewhat successful effort by the far left to put up a front that appears diverse. In fact, Giridharadas, Khanna, and I share a common heritage: we are all Indo-Americans. But despite this effort to create a shield with willing people of color, the modern American socialist movement is riddled with white grievance, class reductionism, and the view that people of color outside their white-centered circle - and especially Black people - are audiences to be persuaded rather than core constituencies whose concerns should be centered and lead follow

A Devastating Defeat: How Bernie Sanders Screwed Up The Drive to Unionize Amazon Workers

The fat lady has sung. The vote to unionize Amazon warehouse workers in Alabama has failed, ending the most promising unionization effort the world’s richest company has ever faced. The vote was lopsided, too. The ‘No’ votes outnumbered ‘Yes’ votes by more than 2:1. At the time of this writing, the New York Times unofficial tally of the vote stood at 738 Yes votes to 1,798 Noes. This is a devastating, humiliating, and demoralizing defeat for the union movement. After years of negative coverage in the press about Amazon’s treatment of its line workers trending on social media, after public Twitter spats between the company’s PR arm and prominent politicians like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, after a visit to the warehouse by Bernie Sanders himself to rally support for unionization, the union vote didn’t just fail, but it wasn’t even close. From this debasing defeat, there are some lessons to learn. While there will be much prognosticating, editorializing, and analyzing by grou
