Mainstream media and analysts do the bidding of the elite, and have no listening for a candidate who wants government to do the bidding of the people.
@Fivethirtyeight do
better.
FiveThirtyEight likes to brand itself as highly objective and committed to the data, but this contradicts that.
This is how political elites control the narrative.
Just as in the old Soviet Union, people are told "You have choice - but we'll tell you what your choices are."
My monthly average is 6.3%, and Quinnipiac today has me at 8%.
Meanwhile, on the Republican side FiveThirtyEight reports on Vivek Ramaswamy at 7%, Niki Haley at 5.9%, Mike Pence at 5.1%, Chris Christie at 3.2% and several others even lower.
FiveThirtyEight reports the national polling data today, but leaves me out entirely.
Written underneath their graph is that they're only reporting on "major candidates."🧵
Maybe it's the one in four Americans living with medical debt, rising child poverty and hunger, and millions still carrying crushing college loan debt? Could it possibly be that?
Unfortunately I have laryngitis and have to postpone my events in New Hampshire, Maine and Alabama this week. They will be rescheduled as soon as possible. So sorry!
Are you excusing what he said?? This young woman was not an enemy combatant, by the way. She was a grad student of single mother walking on a cross walk in Seattle...
Everyone needs to watch this.
A Seattle cop mocks the death of a woman killed by a speeding patrol car and says she "had limited value."
Her name was Jaahnavi Kandula. She was a 23-year-old grad student raised by a single mother.
Absolutely disgusting.
Shawn Fain, president of @UAW, went on CNN.
When asked if a strike could hurt the economy he said:
"It's not that we're going to wreck the economy. We're going to wreck their economy, the economy that only works for the billionaire class. It doesn't work for the working class."
So impressed that people are not giving up. It's taking a lot of sacrifice on the part of many people, but they're holding the line and that's what's important. Kudos.
Whether it's strikes like this, Stop Cop City or progressive political campaigns, there's a thicker spine growing among those who are countering forces of economic injustice.
It's a good thing. #WGAStrong
