If the Democratic Party is looking for an antiseptic purge, it better be careful. Most Americans are neither Democrats nor Republicans and Bernie voters make much better allies when respected.

COVID-19

I suggest discarding the Bernie Bro myth and try fairness and empathy. 

Ask Briahna Joy Gray and former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner what real political & racial attacks really look & feel like. Too many rank and file Democratic voters have fallen for the right-wing techniques the Democratic leadership has used to stamp Bernie Sanders supporters as Bernie Bros or somehow irrational based on a few outliers. We are not.

Bernie did what the DNC asked of him if was not going to be the winner. He suspended his campaign and he endorsed Joe Biden. But he said he intended to remain on the ballot to continue to give his people, the movement a voice at the table. Removing Bernie Sanders from the New York ballot was like stabbing the Bernie and movement supporters with a knife, turning it, and stuffing the would with salt.

Bernie voters are passionate about a necessary new order and are not going away. They saw the Democratic Party as a place with congruous interests. It will do the party well to change with the times and let that new faction ascend.

Notes:

It is getting difficult for many Bernie supporters to support the a candidate insulting, disrespecting and undermining them via the party.

Citing ‘Utter Inability to Discharge Duties of His Office,’ MoveOn Demands Trump Removal Under 25th Amendment

“It’s not just Trump’s words but his actions that reveal his utter inability to discharge the duties of his office.”

A day after President Donald Trump openly speculated about injecting disinfectants into coronavirus patients and using large amounts of ultraviolet rays to treat the virus, MoveOn.org on Friday publicly called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove the president from office.

Trump’s comments Thursday evening—which forced doctors to issue public statements pleading with Americans to ignore the president’s advice—are only the latest evidence that his failed leadership and mismanagement of the pandemic is endangering people on a daily basis, MoveOn said.

It’s not just Trump’s words but his actions that reveal his utter inability to discharge the duties of his office,” said Rahna Epting, the group’s executive director.

“He downplayed the threat of coronavirus for months and went golfing when he should have been preparing, has still failed to ensure sufficient testing or PPE, and can’t seem to figure out how to get stimulus checks and other relief to families in need,” Epting continued. “He reportedly doesn’t attend coronavirus briefings, but rather governs by watching TV. His egotism, intentional ignorance, and lack of rudimentary understanding of or respect for the Constitution are clear evidence of his inability to govern.”

Earlier this month, Trump repeatedly touted hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, as a potential treatment for COVID-19.

At least three people in Nigeria were hospitalized in late March after overdosing on the drug following Trump’s statements about the medication. The wife of a man in Arizona who died from ingesting chloroquine phosphate confirmed that her husband used the substance because of the president’s remarks in a televised briefing

“If it wasn’t already abundantly clear it should be now: it’s past time for the cabinet to exercise its constitutional responsibility and remove Trump from office,” said Epting.

On social media Thursday evening, following Trump’s comments about disinfectants, stunned critics demanded to know why the 25th Amendment shouldn’t be used to remove the president from office.
