When it comes to helping citizens with student debt, the political class is full of excuses.  When it comes to bail outs for venture capitalists at SVB, there’s no hesitancy at all. We’re simply supposed to accept that a two-tier society is normal. A quick rescue for some, a slow tortured “Maybe we can help you just a little bit” for others. That is the system we must change. #disruptthecorrupt

There. Is. No. War. But. Class. War. Bourgeoisie vs proletariat. Owners vs. workers. Doesn't matter how you say it. The 1% who own everything set the rules for the rest of us. Those rules incentivize their profit at our loss. This. Is. Capitalism. And it MUST go.

You need to dump the Democrats if you are serious. They are as corrupt as Republicans…

When it comes to helping regular people they always find a way to excuse why they can’t do anything

And what is your plan to get student debt cancellation past the right wing Supreme Court?

I agree Marianne! But aren't you a bit concerned that SVB finances a lot of woke projects that you're fond of?

FWIW. As a supporter can I just say this tweet lacks the nuance and reasoned explanations that have led me to support you. I know Twitter's limitations, I know the values you are trying to highlight but IMHO this take is not the best example. Don't get caught up in the machine!

I'm watching you at a meet and greet in Portsmouth NH. I'm impressed with the way you connect with people one on one. This is a skill you've developed over many years time. I think you come off very well at events like this.

In terms of campaign presence, you did a smart thing to have C-SPAN follow you there, especially during the Meet and Greet. It's good strategy even if ppl may not resonate with your message. ie the Marianne = FDR rhetoric.

Most of the people at the Portsmouth event seem to be Bernie Stans. And long time readers of your books. New age types. I like the readers better to be honest.
