Ya'at'eeh #BernieSanders2020 supporters. My name is Mark Charles. I am a dual citizen of the US and the Navajo Nation and am running as an #independent candidate for POTUS. My vision is to build a nation where We the People truly means #AllThePeople.
I had the opportunity to participate in two presidential forums with #BernieSanders including the Frank La Mere Native American Presidential Forum last August.

He most certainly does have one, & ABC needs to muzzle both her & @SaraHaines for one of the most biased, unfair interviews I've ever witnessed.

#JoeBiden was for NAFTA just like Hillary Clinton. #BernieSanders was against it. THREAD:
Among other issues, Joe's vote and support of NAFTA is a liability in the rust belt come November.

Becuase NAFTA encourages companies to outsource production to low-wage countries, it helped businesses at the expense of workers in the United States. It also did not provide enough protection against the exploitation of workers and the environment.
Just heard that Klobuchar also just dropped out of the race and will be talking to Biden later.
Sounds to me like Buttigieg and Klobuchar will both end up giving their delegates to Biden.

There you have it....Klobuchar to endorse Biden, so no doubt that she’ll also give him her delegates.
And here you have Buttigieg also endorsing Biden, so his delegates will also go to Biden to keep #BernieSanders2020 from the nomination.
1/9 In case @ewarren is wondering, here are the reasons I’ve decided to vote for @BernieSanders on Tuesday after supporting her campaign the last several months, both monetarily and through canvassing.
2/9 More than 200 tribal citizens wrote a letter with clear demands to @ewarren regarding her false claims of Cherokee heritage. She fulfilled 2/3 of those demands and wrote a 12-page letter mostly saying, “Hey, look how many people I’ve talked to about tribal issues though!”
3/9 They gave her a prime opportunity to disavow the white, racist myths that seek to erase native people in the U.S. She didn’t take it. It could’ve been an incredible teaching moment, and she pushed it aside.
It's a cold Sunday afternoon, and I wanna talk a bit about my insights into the Pharmaceutical industry.
Specifically why I believe that the the corrupting influence of the profit motive in medicine is a problem that #M4A can really start to address.

My first peek behind the curtain was about 18 years ago. My roommate got his first job out of college as a sales rep for a drug I'll call Shmaritin.
He spent the next several weeks studying sales materials, and then one day, the delivery truck arrived.

Every square inch of our garage was loaded up with Shmaritin swag. Calendars, mug cozies, mouse pads, tissue boxes, hats, t-shirts, and pens (so many fucking pens).

#BernieSanders is now the front-runner to be the US #Democratic challenger to #Trump. He is popular because, like #JeremyCorbyn, he is serious about social democratic reforms #ForTheMany at the expense of the billionaire class... /1

Like the campaign against #Corbyn they are using every smear & dirty trick available to them. However #Sanders has shown he has learned from Corbyn's mistakes in capitulating to his dishonest critics:

In the 2016 California Democratic Primary, 750,000 votes were DISQUALIFIED, mostly cast by No Party Preference (NPP) voters — 3 out of 4 of whom were #BernieSanders supporters. gregpalast.com/california-scr… #BernieSanders2020
They know that if NPP voters are allowed to vote in the California Democratic primary, #BernieSanders walks away with it. gregpalast.com/california-scr…
In 2016, California had over 1 million provisional ballots — equal to half of ALL provisional ballots cast in the United States. The vast majority of these provisional ballots were never counted, which is why we call them placebo ballots. gregpalast.com/bernie-won-cal…
I have a little story to share with you all about the importance of door knocking and reaching out to your friends and neighbors and encouraging them to vote for Bernie!
I went out door knocking all weekend in the town my precinct is in. I was happily surprised when... (1)
I went out door knocking all weekend in the town my precinct is in. I was happily surprised when... (1)
...the Dr.'s name I used to work for (Keith) popped up as the next door to knock. He wasn't home so I left the Bernie literature on his door and decided to reach out and text him. I told him I stopped by and left him a love note from Bernie 😍and that I hoped to see him... (2)
...on Monday at the caucus.
Caucus day comes and my Field Organizer comes to help out at my precinct as an observer since we're the largest in the county. (Don't be too impressed. The county is still so small and rural, there isn't one stoplight in the entire county! 😱) (3)

All Bernie needed to say:
"I believe you, so clearly I said something that led you to believe that, but I truly misspoke. From the bottom of my heart I'm sorry for that." Two sentences and he comes out looking better than before.
Let's look at some of Bernie's greatest hits:

Instead of apologizing for his campaign stealing Hillary's data, he tries to sue the DNC and make himself the victim.

Hey corporate Democrats stop asking us to unify with you while you are actively harming us and our families. You are either condoning or participating in racism, violence against minorities, imperialism, environmental destruction, killing through pollution, environmental racism
Extinction of species, child labor, withholding life sustaining medical care, educational racism, profiting from human slavery via private prison industry, failing to provide basic services such as clean water, committing gross human rights violations
You enable a system that poisons our children, tips families apart, tells black and brown Americans that they have no value, and throws their children away like trash. You are guilty. You are evil.I
Stealing California from #Bernie — again? gregpalast.com/stealing-calif… #BernieSanders #Bernie2020 #BernieSanders2020 #CAprimary
I saw what happened to #Bernie in 2016. People were improperly registered, not registered. There were three quarters of a million ballots which were cast provisionally or on the wrong ballot, which were thrown out. gregpalast.com/stealing-calif… #BernieSanders #Bernie2020
It was mostly #Bernie votes that were thrown out. We know that from the Roper Poll. #BernieSanders won California in June, 2016, if you counted all the votes… gregpalast.com/bernie-won-cal…
To all of you who are against Yang's version of UBI because as you say the "rich" get it or really anyone not at or below poverty level.
You are missing one of the main reasons it is being proposed in the first place.
Automation. Truck drivers make about 50k plus.

As well as other occupations that will be automated. Radiologists, retail workers, call center jobs, contract lawyers etc.

to soften the landing. To give them some savings to retrain in a different career or start a business.
It is also intended to strengthen the economy of our dying small towns, to create jobs locally etc
means-testing will prevent all of this.

Does anyone seek 2 severely regulate/ban big investors (private equity/foreign wealth) or small (flippers) that are manipulating the housing market?
Do they even provide lip-service?

Sum talk a/b Wall Street investors but is his proposed solution strong enuf?
Also, he’s unfortunately in the blanket upzoning camp so w/flipper tax isn’t that 1 step fwd but 2 steps back?

.#BernieSanders2020 calls for natl rent control & that will definitely curb some speculation, but it is without vacancy control. See Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley & Santa Monica for the effects of strong rent control without vacancy control.

In the beginning, I thought that maybe #ElizabethWarren was a good alternative to #BernieSanders.
But the more I learned about her the more I became disappointed and realized that that the only choice is #BernieSanders2020.

- #ElizabethWarren opposed gay marriage until 2010; Sanders has been a life-time supporter.
- She does not call out the fossil fuel industry disinformation campaign
- She does not support banning fracking (queue Republicans and fossil fuel industry cheering)

- #ElizabethWarren voted for Ben Carson to head HUD; later flipped after backlash from constituents.
- After Donna Brazil book came out, Warren immediately agreed that the 2016 primary was rigged by DNC. A few days later she flipped her position.

Here's the scene at The Olde Walkerville Pharmacy in Windsor ahead of a visit by US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders #BernieSanders2020 #YQG @CTVWindsor
There's plenty of local support for the 'Caravan to Canada' Sanders is joining. The caravans see Americans come to Canada to buy life-saving insulin that can be 10x more expensive stateside #BernieSanders2020 #YQG @CTVWindsor
#ElizabethWarren's bill reminds me of Romney's advice to youths in 4/2012, "Borrow money, if you have to, from your parents. Start a business... [Jimmy John Liautaud] borrowed $20K from his dad..."
The loan was c. 7/82 and was actually $25K.
$25K in 7/82 = $59K in 4/12

Warren declined to be interviewed for this story. In May, at request of media, her campaign released a summary of her outside work. As a senatorial candidate, Warren released a shorter version, which omitted her work for Dow Chemical.
