I'm one of those who frets that the election will be much closer than the polls indicate. That in a world where non-voters are never targeted by Dems, huge turnout could contain multitudes. So I'm dropping some old footage of Joe Biden here:
Chris Mathews has been generous to me on a number of occasions, even blurbing my book. However, his constant references to political violence and today Nazism to describe Bernie Sanders campaign is beyond the pale.

Iโm hoping you'll share it. A campaign only has limited value in gathering votes. The case for a candidate is often made by a wide array of outside amateur and professional creators. So it's a good to sprinkle this stuff around.
Last year I woke up thinking the establishment had successfully squashed Bernie Sandersโ. Today I woke up to see Bernie is holding a rally with PUBLIC ENEMY, and they used one of my photos on the poster?! Honored beyond words.
In a non-shocking development, I endorsed Bernie today on a competing social network. I waited this long to be sure of the one thing I worry about above all others, that he could win. I believe he can.

Americaโs employer-based health care system is a disaster and always has been. And the coronavirus will make it much worse.
Itโs time to build something better.
This independent voter just cast his first vote in a Presidential primary after working in .... many. Won't come as a big surprise I voted for Bernie Sanders.

No words can fully honor Senator Mike Gravel. May his memory be blessing and may his name be invoked to drive fear into the elites. Yes, they were afraid of him. Every once in a while we send a real human being to Washington. And it's always a special thing.
Hey
@RichardGrenell
, this American is proud to work with Albin Kurti and Vetevendosje. Our unshakable alliance, based in liberty and self-determination, survived the reckless forced diplomacy you helped midwife for Donald Trump, so like... just stop, please.
Three Things:
1. This ensures you get the very worst people in gov't.
2. The gov't is specifically operated on an assortment of prescription drugs.
3. We were given much better advice from management in 2008.
I think the WH Staff needs a union.
The cat is out of the bag. The corporate wing of the Democratic Party is publicly "anybody but Bernie." They know our progressive agenda of Medicare for All, breaking up big banks, taking on drug companies and raising wages is the real threat to the billionaire class.
Good morning to everyone who called Thaci a thief yesterday. If there are two things Kosovars and Americans both love it's self-determination, and speaking one's mind freely. PS.

The waiting is the hardest part (more 2016 photos). So many doing so much important voter contact. But if you have five minutes today maybe engage in some *non* voter contact.
#CaucusForBernie
So if you have five minutes free today, the ask Iโm making of you is to reach out and contact a non voter in your life. You know Iowa is a civilized state that allows same day registration. Itโs not too late to be a first time caucuser.

Gen X's preoccupation with nuclear war may have left us unequipped to deal with many of the realities of the 21st century ... but we know how to book vaccination appointments like we are trying to get concert tickets in 1991.
Kosova is a beautiful place and worth fighting for. I wish the United States and the EU had a 1/4 of the confidence Kosavars have in democracy and an 1/8th of of the incorruptibility Prime Minister
@albinkurti
has demonstrated in his leadership. That's it.
Albin Kurti is more than a just friend to the United States (and to this American) but who has constantly stood strong in defense of important American ideals of fairness, justice, and self determination.

We spend so much time condemning non-voters --calling them lazy, ignorant. We donโt spend much time listening to *why* they donโt vote. If you do, I guarantee you will find their answers compelling and their memories long. I know because in the past, I have been one of them.
It is heartbreaking to see the US treating Kosovo, one of our staunchest allies, so callously and for such base political reasons. It is an act of betrayal that may seem inevitable for someone like Trump but not to most Kosovars who still hold the US in such high regard. So sorry

Wait, this guy? Really? English news hasn't kept up so I'm just trying to keep on top of things. Seems like a bit of a downgrade from PM Kurti, no? Just here to ask questions.

@realDonaldTrump
the Order of Freedom, as a token of gratitude for his personal contribution for the freedom of Kosovo, strengthening of peace & reconciliation in the region. Eternal is the bond b/w Kosovo & U.S.
Who is the audience for this nonsense? Is Ric Grenell starting a shady lobbying shop? Albin Kurti and the Biden/Harris administration are going to do just fine keep moving along buddy.
The experts who got Iraq wrong are still in charge of our foreign policy.
The economists who couldn't see the crash in 2008, still in charge.
The folks who got the 2016 election wrong will be tapped to lead the charge in 2020.
Goodnight y'all!
These past 4 years have not been okay.
The American people are hurting. We need a leader who can heal this nation and bring humanity back to the White House. Vote Joe.
Watching Kosovo economically disarm, at the mercy of Donald Trumps bizarre foreign policy directives, doesn't bode well for the road ahead. One wonders what is next and how fast it will come.
So much has changed in the world but in Kosovo while much has happened since last Oct, nothing has changed; except the name of a lake and the further deterioration of the sovereignty of this young nation. Demand fresh elections, lets get this done!

I'm old enough to remember when Kosovo had a governments with actual adults in it. Lets be clear, two-week olds can remember when Kosovo had competent leadership. This aint it.

Hey America.
Look, a better world is possible and maybe y'all can take your minds off of the Iowa debacle to enjoy some photos from Kosovo. Prime Minister Kurti is still running the ceremonial paces before he sets down to work. They didn't think it was possible here either.
It's closing argument time for the Kosovo elections on Sunday, October 17th. And as always *you* are the best messenger for this message. Parties and Prime Ministers can activate the base, can get things rolling, but *you* are the most persuasive voice to to those in your life.
