1. The jerks can still put confederate flag bumperstickers on their cars if they want

I don't see why it has to be on the license plate

[Sophia4]

11. struggle4progress, I trust you a lot.

And you are right.

That is not Levi Sanders' real Twitter account.

Check this one. I Googled, and it was hard to find, but this is his real Twitter account.

I hope this was just a mistake by the author of the OP.

If it is intentional, it is a horrible thing to do, to lie about a candidate in this way.

I hope it is just a mistake.

19. You're mistaken. These are Levi Sanders' own tweets. He said these things.

[NCTraveler]

22. Is the op wrong or are you?

Op seems to be standing behind it. Sounds like something Levi would say. It’s consistent with their past history.

You seem to be knowingly linking to the same account.

If you are wrong, you seem to agree that Levi is shit. 👍🏼 Hard for many of us to believe these are his words as well. He seems to have gotten bit by the “economic anxiety” bug.

[struggle4progress]

23. The Levi Sanders ‏@Celentra does look like his account

[octoberlib]

34. That is his account. From Esquire

Tweet threads from users Dean Barker and Aphra Behn have gone viral since Sanders’ candidacy was announced. The threads both post old tweets, purportedly from Levi’s account, that seemingly trash political dynasties, support the NRA, and oppose a law to remove the Confederate flag from Virginia license plates, among other controversial topics. Levi has not yet commented about his past tweets.

Esquire has photoshopped pictures of his tweets.

[WhiteTara]

41. I don't know who this person is, so

is he in congress? or just running? He's horrible.

[octoberlib]

47. Bernie Sanders son , running for Congress in NH

[WhiteTara]

48. OMG. I hope he doesn't win.

Is he running on our platform? Or just trying to split the vote?

[onenote]

54. You've posted that it wasn't his real account multiple times. You've been shown to be wrong

Care to apologize, respond, delete your posts. Or are you leaving them there so we know who you are?

[BoneyardDem]

62. Sometimes it's ok not to agree with a Sanders...

you can be quite predictable.

[Cha]

63. Wow.. are you ever Wrong, Sophia.. and Struggle

for Progress didn't say..

And you are right.

That is not Levi Sanders' real Twitter account.

You're the one who's made "the mistake".. and you should own up to it.

It's Bernie Sanders' son, Levi Sanders', Twitter Account and he makes really dumb, un-Democratic, statements.

[lunasun]

53. Right plus you are from slavery and now your tax $ going to that license plate design. Just no

[still_one]

2. Sounds like he is a f**king libertarian.

[Wwcd]

51. Yup. And the Libertarian Party is supported by the KOCH bros.

Any questions as to where this has its origins & $upport?
KOCH'S fund not only the Libertarian Party, but the Tea Party .
The Party started by their father in the 50's/60's, The John Birch Society, was so anti-American (they despised free societies & the Kennedys) that the US Gov't pretty much drove them underground. By today's standards they would be listed with SPLC for their anti-American stance.

They re-emerged not as The JBS but under their new name. The Libertarian Party. They changed up their message but their mission remains the same.
The destruction of democracy, of a free society.

THAT is who hides in the shadows and appears as psudo Democrats when the Party needs an usurper to keep its power crushed.

Libertarian & Tea Party are the KOCH's updated John Birch Society.
Watch any 3rd Party that shifts from Democrat in name, to anti-democrat in word.

I will bet the farm on their being money & strings attatched by the Kochs.
This is who they are & how they finally achieve their father's goal of destroying democracy, & replacing it with his beloved John Birch Society.

Who were the ONLY 2 Senators to vote against Magnitsky again?

Right.

[still_one]

55. You nailed Wwcd. I'm very impressed

[Wwcd]

56. Thank you. Its all kind of hiding in plain sight. Ya know.

[still_one]

57. It is and it isn't. I tink many folks are not even aware of the John Birch Society yet alone the

Koch connection with them

[Cha]

61. Running as a Dem..

to RF.

[still_one]

64. I know. George Wallace ran as a Democrat also

[Cha]

65. Yeah, George Wallace and Zell Miller.. Jim Traficant

started out as a Dem, too.

still_one

[NanceGreggs]

3. In the words of the great John Fugelsang ...

... the douche doesn't fall from the bag.

And if that observation gets me a "hide", it's well worth it.

[arthritisR_US]

4. It should not because it is true as he is

so pointedly showing us. Diminish the Democratic name and divide the party. Fecking asshole.

[Sophia4]

8. This is Levi Sanders' real Twitter account.

The one linked to in the OP belongs to someone else I think.

Check this out.

https://twitter.com/Celentra?lang=en

It's disgusting to see a lie spread like this about any candidate.

[brush]

15. You must work for Sanders. Others are saying the repug-sounding tweets are from the same...

link you're posting.

Aren't you disgusted that all this divisive crap is always around these people?

Who are we supposed to believe, them or our lying eyes?

[yardwork]

20. It's disgusting to post personal attacks on DU and that's what you're doing.

You've already said that you don't understand Twitter.

It's been explained to you several times. I'll attempt to help you understand. Levi Sanders' tweets are being retweeted by others. He's running as a candidate and people believe that voters have the right to know what he's been saying about Trump (Sanders is a fan), the NRA (Sanders loves them), Obama (Sanders thinks he was weak against the Russians), Planned Parenthood (Sanders is against them), etc.

I appreciate being informed so that I can support the people running against Sanders. I wouldn't want him to be elected.

[BannonsLiver]

26. Yeah also disgusting to see people try to deny it

You’re not fooling anyone.

[ehrnst]

33. That tweet is indeed in the twitter account you posted.

I think you need to revisit what you define as "disgusting."

You're welcome.

[kcr]

39. You're wrong.

And also unintentionally hilarious.

[SidDithers]

44. You owe the OP an apology...nt

Sid

9. This is Levi Sanders' real Twitter account.

I have no particular interest in his campaign, but I don't like spreading lies.

https://twitter.com/Celentra?lang=en

Check it out. He really is a liberal.

Everyone can vote for whomever they wish, but it is mean and low to spread a lie about what is someone's Twitter account.

https://twitter.com/Celentra?lang=en

Really beneath DU in my opinion.

[Princess Turandot]

16. Err...

Here is the url of the tweet in the OP. If you look very very closely, you'll see that it is a tweet from the account you referenced.

In order to go to the link shown below, remove the space between 'https' and '://'. I added it so the link itself would show up in this post.

https ://twitter.com/Celentra/status/897572989679652865

You owe the OP an apology for calling him dishonest.

BTW, the original tweet in the OP was from a person who was retweeting the Sanders 'celentra' account tweet. It showed both tweets because that's how twitter works in those cases. People post retweets here all the time that look just like the original one here.

[grantcart]

43. but she has no Interest in his campaign, lol.

[Eliot Rosewater]

68. Why is that poster allowed to call the OP dishonest and get away with it?

[MrsCoffee]

38. .

[Cha]

66. Wrong again, Sophia. Please stop spreading

misinformation.

You owe everyone an apology for accusing them of being "mean and low", when it is you who is Not Getting IT.

[pandr32]

29. To the point!

Agreed

[ehrnst]

32. This! (nt)

[dalton99a]

35. He sounds more and more like a Trump voter every day.

It is disgusting.

[NurseJackie]

36. I completely agree. (Plus it's funny as hell!)

No doubt this has been (will be) alerted on. I wish you luck!

[WhiteTara]

49. Well, if it does...a kiss before you go

[George II]

67. Oh how a phrase can be turned. Excellent!

[Eliot Rosewater]

69. yep

[NBachers]

5. Here's info on who else is running- some actual real Democrats in this group:

https://ballotpedia.org/New_Hampshire%27s_1st_Congressional_District_election,_2018

Mark S. Mackenzie - State Rep.[10]
Deaglan McEachern[11]
Mindi Messmer - State Rep.[12]
Terence O'Rourke[13]
Chris Pappas[14]
Levi Sanders[15]
Lincoln Soldati[16]
Maura Sullivan

In my quick review, I've been most impressed with, in this order: Maura Sullivan, Mark S. Mackenzie, Terence O'Rourke, and Mindi Messmer. If I had to narrow it down at this point, I'd probably make it Maura and Mark, with Maura getting my contributions.

There's plenty of information at the link. Let's talk about who else is running, and see who to focus on.

[Sophia4]

7. THat's not Levi Sanders' account.

Here is Levi Sanders' account.

https://twitter.com/Celentra?lang=en

I Googled for it. It was not easy to find, but I think the one I link to is the authentic one.

[NBachers]

10. You're welcome to use the information in my post to compare and decide for yourself, if you'd like.

[NurseJackie]

37. LOL! Yes it is!

I Googled for it. It was not easy to find, but I think the one I link to is the authentic one.

They're both the same account (different pages... different tweets... but SAME ACCOUNT)

[Sophia4]

6. That is not Levi Sanders' Twitter account.

The OP is dishonest.

That account does not have anything to do with Levi Sanders' account.

18. You are not telling the truth. The honorable thing would be to apologize and remove your offending

posts.

I followed the twitter link YOU provided, and found the same tweet posted by Sanders

25. Have you read the official twitter? See below. I posted one of his tweets.

[RhodeIslandOne]

42. Why do you keep ignoring the numerous people replying

....that you are wrong on this?

[Eliot Rosewater]

70. These tactics are getting OLD, arent they!

[RandySF]

14. Updated for source.

[oasis]

17. Certain "Democrats" just wouldn't be a good fit in congress. Should they

manage to get in, they'd be a pain in the ass for our leadership to deal with.

[Demsrule86]

24. Levi Sanders does not sound like a Democrat. I have waded through his twitter and that is what I

think. To defend removing the confederate flag...a symbol of slavery and treason...well let's just say...it would be an easy choice not to vote for him in the New Hampshire primary. And those who condemned McAuliffe (who was a very good governor) as being too centrist and who seems to the left of Levi Sanders are panting with excitement that a new politician named Sanders is running. It seems almost a fan club. What would this candidate have to offer were his name not Sanders? Those who defend his remarks on the confederate flag would rightfully condemn another politician if he said the same thing (rightfully). The only reason I can see why some would support him after reading through his twitter is that his name is Sanders...not a good enough reason.

He combined the tweet below with the words used in a toast Feinstein made about Hillary's candidacy at her birthday party to the effect that if she couldn't couldn't win the presidency, what woman could? Nice Mr. Sanders...so no woman can win in your opinion? I guess Hillary got what she deserved why that uppity woman who received three million more votes in the general than Trump (who's voters we need to understand) and probably had the election stolen from her should not have run...a mere woman after all (sarcasm). No more 'wimmin folks' running for the presidency or even higher office...lets leave it to the men (sarcasm). As a woman, I am offended.



matter.

46. It would be an understantment for me to point out that MANY people have come to the same conclusion.

Including me.

[Demsrule86]

58. Let's hope New Hampshire is paying attention...his views are libertarian not progressive.

[BannonsLiver]

28. I see the bots are coming to Levis rescue

[dalton99a]

40. +1

[Docreed2003]

30. This dude never ceases to amaze me in his comments

WTF does a dude from New England give a crap about the confederate flag?? As an aside, it’s freaking hilarious to me that the folks at that Richmond newspaper don’t even know their own history. That battle flag ain’t “the stars and bars”, even though it’s called that all the time. The “stars and bars” refers to the first flag of the confederacy which looks nothing like the battle flags of the Armies of VA and TN.

Also, again, why is this dude running as a Democrat??

[WhiteTara]

50. splitting our party worked so well last time

and he's following in daddy's footsteps, only younger and with more vigor.
