Socialism ≠ Dictatorship | Capitalism ≠ Democracy
A country's economic structure (socialism, capitalism, communism) is different from its government system (democracy, oligarchy, plutocracy).
People in power rely on the power of the people to not understand this. #DemDebates

FIX THIS, @McDonalds.
Derek’s mom has Alzheimer’s. Police are sending helicopters over the desert. 200 volunteers are scouring Phoenix.
AND YOU WON’T LET THE FAMILY LOOK AT A VIDEOTAPE? We have an eyewitness CERTAIN it’s her.
Please RT so @McDonalds does the right thing.

So weird that corporate news stations didn't show the 🔥AMAZING🔥 @ninaturner rally with @cornelwest @SenSanders. youtube.com/watch?v=v00mD12D…
On May 19, employees at McDonald’s will strike as they continue their demand for workers’ rights. Is it enough?

"We need a strong awareness of voter suppression nationwide – while drawing the focus away from the red herring that is voter fraud – so as to give this issue the attention and the urgency that it deserves." @MichaelBerlind @TYTArmy3 @TheYoungTurks @cenkuygur

If you’re on the left or right, "you have to hate equally what’s going on. This is not either socialism or free market economics. It’s kleptocracy. It’s oligarchy." @ggreenwald

The call for @JoeBiden to work from the center is foolish. "There is no longer a 'center,'" as @RBReich correctly points out. #tytarmy

Publishing lies without context is unethical and dangerous. Yesterday proved that. We call on media outlets like @thehill to stop this practice. instagram.com/p/CJwuZ15HWLN/…

These CEOs are profiting off this pandemic while small businesses & tens of millions of Americans face hunger & eviction. Yet, @CNN gives them a platform to tell @JoeBiden how to govern. How disconnected are you @apbenven @claresduffy @talyellin? @CNNBusiness
President-elect Joe Biden has decades of experience in politics, but a little extra advice never hurts. Some of America’s leading CEOs share what they’d like to see from the new administration and how they think Biden should approach the top job. cnn.it/2LwXwKS
You more interested in smearing progressives than getting people economic COVID relief @SRuhle? What exactly is your point other than that you despise Bernie?
Not only is @SRuhle’s framing of @SenSanders’ record ignorant of how politics works, it's irrelevant to COVID relief. Her prepared graphic proves she’s more interested in trashing progressives than being objective. Just more establishment bias from @MSNBC

Rep. @WhipClyburn (D) ignores history of civil rights leaders fighting against oppression... while taking money from Big PHARMA. @BTnewsroom discusses how Clyburn does not speak for all Black people. Thank you @briebriejoy @SeanBlackmon9 @luqmannation1 @blackleftaf.
Black socialists respond to Black Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn’s claim that he’s never known a political Black person “comfortable” with socialism.

You're disregarding the point @TYTArmy3 is making - corporate media and the Dem party itself keep their thumbs on the scale. The study itself acknowledges part of this "How does local media coverage affect accountability?" Yet progressives are still winning. That context matters.
Problem with @SenFeinstein is that she's a Democrat, not a democrat. Fear of having challenges from within your own party is the result of a two-party system working hand-in-glove with corporate media (aka one-party) scaring people into submission.
When @justicedems ran @HartsonForCA against @SenFeinstein two years ago, almost everyone in the media thought it was ridiculous to challenge Feinstein from the left. That she was a wonderful stalwart of the Democratic Party. She's a bastion of elitist chuminess. We were right!
"The establishment" as thought @realDonaldTrump and @VP are separate from that bs 😂... and the MAGA people who fall for it. They're so good at messaging and manipulating their base.
