Is anybody going to talk about the unethical tactics taken by berners during the primaries in NYC and around the country?
The electioneering and guerrilla poll watchers that try to slip flyers in polling places?
I mean that is part of the tactics used by AOC in 2018, they are doing it now in district after district.

Whenever you see Poll Watchers in NYC that is berners or Republicans trying to put their finger on the scales.
Berners have taken up their Granddaddies tactics. /3
Them fuggers have been around since 2015, they have had almost five years to do something effective in political discourse. But alas.
They are still trying to get free shit for themselves, we can't expect them to work for those w/o privilege. /4
How fucking tone deaf do you have to be to name a proposal Green New Deal, when the New Deal was a raw deal for Black folks. You know a yt man wrote that mess.
They could have stolen The Real Deal proposals written by progressive Black legislators for decades. /5
People forget that it was White Progressives who crafted the whitest legislative ideas that empowered poor white Men while leaving out Black people. /6
That when they found Black men would be eligible for power and that they would vote for other Black Men , Jim Crow replaced chattel slavery to keep Black folks marginalized and make it easy to steal their intellectual property and inventions. /7
Among the many folks killing Black folks in Tulsa during the Black Wall street Massacre were yt progressives jealous of the success of Black people in Greenwood. /8
So if yt berners wanna co-opt the "progressive" title, and use names like New Deal, then they are going to have to face the fact that many Black folks alive today remember who White progressives were in their youth. /9
No different than Klansmen, and these newfangled yt progressives seem to be repeating history.
Crafting legislation that is directed at lifting their boats while leaving the marginalized and Black dry-docked. /10
Now if only we had some Black scholars who will accurately instruct folks on Progressiveness and how Ida B Wells as a progressive was the antithesis of yt Progressives.
They think that Conservatives constructed Jim Crow when it was structured by White progressives. /11
It was Black folks who reconstituted the reputation and rebuilt the modern progressive movement and it is White folks who have once again stepped in and reverted it back to its racist history. /12
So when journalists and Black scholars talk about Progressives which they use as a slogan for socialism, they need to factor in that yt progressives have always been among the most racist folks in this countries history. /13
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are emblematic of racist White Progressives that pushed for progressive platforms that were designed to benefit White folks only and they have conned a bunch of young Black kids to join them. /14
Black progressives created the suffragist movements and civil rights movement and like Yt women did against Black suffragettes, Yt folks have co-opted our struggles to their own benefit.
Yt folks are not burning buildings in their neighborhoods. /15
So calling yt progressives , "Aggressives" or "Regressives" seem to be more accurate. /end
