Michael Moore now tearing it up on Twitter for Bernie

Start from the bottom and read upwards. He's still going too, so you can keep up here: https://twitter.com/MMFlint

Hillary says Bernie's plans are "realistic" or "pragmatic." This week she said "single payer health care will NEVER, EVER, happen." Wow.

10 yrs ago we were told gay marriage would never be the law of the land. Good thing we didn't listen to those who told us 2 be "pragmatic."

They once said that it wasn't "realistic" to pass a Civil Rights Act AND a Voting Rights Act back to back. Both passed, 1964 & 1965.

They once said it wasn't "realistic" to pass an Amendment giving women the vote because only all-male legislators would be voting on it.

What is democratic socialism? It's having a true democracy where everyone has a seat at the table, everyone has a voice, not just the rich.

Most polls now show young adults (18-35) across America prefer socialism (fairness) to capitalism (selfishness).

The NY Times, which admitted it made up stories of WMD in Iraq & pushed us to invade, now endorses the candidate who voted for the Iraq War.

If Hillary's biggest selling point as to why u should vote for her is "Bernie's a socialist!" or "A socialist can't win!" then she's lost.

If you're under 49 (the largest voting block), the days of the Cold War & Commie Pinkos & the Red Scare look as stupid as "Reefer Madness."

Merriam-Webster Dictionary recently announced the most looked-up word in their online dictionary in 2015 was "socialism."

According to NBC, 43% of Iowa Dems identify themselves more closely with socialism (sharing, helping) than capitalism (greed, inequality).

THEY now say there's no way a democratic socialist can get elected President.But all the polls show him BEATING Trump by twice as much as HC

THEY always want to keep the status quo. THEY always claim they knew how America will vote. THEY always use fear to convince u how to vote.

THEY saId there's NO WAY we're going to win if we nominate a BLACK man for Prez who's middle name is "Hussein"! Don't do it! #CantGetElected

They said you could not get elected President if you had not served in the military. President Bill Clinton, 1993-2001 #CantGetElected

They said voters would never elect a President who had been divorced & remarried. President Ronald Reagan, 1981-89 #CantGetElected

They said America wouldn't elect a Prez from the Deep South. Last 1 was Zachary Taylor 1849. President Jimmy Carter, 1977-81 #CantGetElected

They said there's no way he'd get elected because he was a Catholic. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 1961-63 #CantGetElected

81% of the electorate is either female, people of color or young (18-35). The Republicans have lost the VAST majority of 81% of the country.

How can Bernie and his supporters not take heart that without much media exposure, the American people are mulling over Bernie's policies. Can't ask for much more than that at this point.

I can hardly wait to see which Hill shows up at these upcoming debates? A humble one? An arrogant one? Will she get that "look" on her face when crossed? Flippity Floppity?

They want 2 scare you into thinking we'll lose w/ Sanders. The facts, the polls scream just the opposite: We have a BETTER chance w/ Bernie!

The polls nationally show Hillary beats Sanders among DEMOCRATS-but when they add in INDEPENDENTS then Sanders beats Trump 2x what HC would.

HC was FOR the war in Iraq, AGAINST gay marriage, FOR the Patriot Act, FOR NAFTA, and wants 2 put EdSnowden in prison. THAT'S a lot 2 handle

The are many good things about Hillary. But it's clear she's to the right of Obama & will move us backwards, not forward. Sad. Very sad.

Hillary always finds a way 2 pay 4 war & tax breaks for the rich. What Bernie is going to do is switch the priorities of where $$ are spent.

Hillary says it's not practical to offer free college for everyone. You can't get more practical than the Germans - & they do it! Many do!

especially when for-profit-prisons are Hillary's big donors. Boy that Hill sure is practical.

Judith Miller's NYT articles may have helped cause the Iraq War.

However, NYT editorials (official opinion of the newspaper) opposed the Iraq War.

No sexism.
No bias.
No bullshit.

If you are a Democrat and you believe in your heart that health care is a privilege, then I have no use for you and you shall never have my vote.

Health care is a basic human right. In a country the size and opulence of America, to allow people to die for lack of privilege is a position that can only to purchased by large amounts of donations and back room dealing.

HRC has disqualified herself for me.
I can't speak for the rest of the so-called Democratic caucus...

In the BSG I just posted a video at an Iowa Rally Jan. 23 with Bernie discussing nervous campaigns and attacks. He receives about 5 a day and said in 2008 OBAMA was labeled unrealistic, inexperienced with 'pie in the sky' ideas. Bernie was gratified reading the WSJ article saying his viability as a candidate was part of the reason the markets are unstable-- he's making WS nervous!
