Those who wish to resist the chaos that is about to be unleashed must read On Tyranny. Or at least read Snyder's cliff notes:

Lesson 1: Do not obey in advance. Thread of lessons from my book #OnTyranny. Written in 2016.

@denadewolf @MeditronS @umichvoter Ok, quite a colloquial take on socialism, but these characteristics have nothing at all to do with building friendship and community, which have nothing to do with socialism.

English

girrrrrrrrllllllllll@denadewolf·1h

@_TokyoMarie_ @MeditronS @umichvoter A confused collective acting to protect the will of the people and workers which actual creates a converse effect of higher taxes, corruption, disrupted markets. chaos, division , ineffective leaders and economic strife!

The answer to hate isn't more hate, it's love and joy. Mallory is the candidate for the moment in this race, this is the way you fight for the soul of the party and country, you bring back joy make it okay to be happy. This, I think, is what brings energy and hope to our party.

Team McMorrow@TeamMcMorrow

Mallory McMorrow walked into the second half of today's convention flanked by DrumKINGZ and a whole lot of supporters. Many are calling it McMentum.

@GoblueHall @KaseyHelton05 Actually, it wasn’t only the extreme left. There were a whole lot of people there who are For the People rather than corporate & billionaire interests but who are also not far left.

Jeffrey Hall@GoblueHall·13h

@KaseyHelton05 That convention didn’t represent the base. That was the extreme left of the party. Extremists winning at the convention doesn’t equate to winning in November.

English

Kasey Helton@KaseyHelton05·21h

The real story tonight is in the numbers. The base wants a progressive populist platform that is people-centered on working class issues and rejects monied special interests of all types. They showed up to fight for that and won the day. When the people show up, they win.

@RileyTX Your language is inflammatory and way too light on substance. I believe those who say she is Islamophobic are twisting what she has said and saying it means something different.

English

꧁ R I L E Y ꧂@RileyTX·3h

@_TokyoMarie_ Time for some introspection if you think this is disinformation, Marie:

꧁ R I L E Y ꧂@RileyTX

@camicumchom Going to an islamophobic rag of a news outlet to publicly suggest her opponent is a terrorist sympathizer and an antisemite by affiliation, for starters.

꧁ R I L E Y ꧂@RileyTX·8h

If McMorrow wins the nom, she would have to come to El-Sayed supporters for their vote. So her and a sizable portion of her supporters continuing to be anti-Muslim racists seems like a bad idea!

HatsforBaTS@hats_for_bats

If El-Sayed wins the nom, he does have to come to both McMorrow and Stevens supports for their vote, so being constant assholes seems like a bad idea.

@denadewolf @MeditronS @umichvoter So what is your definition of “socialism?”

English

girrrrrrrrllllllllll@denadewolf·3h

@_TokyoMarie_ @MeditronS @umichvoter and yes wven they way your sgar coat socialism…its still socialism and not good !

@MeditronS @umichvoter Ugh… fat finger typing- either that or word prediction failed. I meant to say. “It felt so good to just have fun…”

@MeditronS @umichvoter It felt so so to just have some fun today. I’m a Mallory volunteer & was in the back of that line. I am so tired of feeling angry all the time about what MAGA is doing. We are building community with this team. We are building real friendships & positive energy. No more outrage.

@denadewolf @MeditronS @umichvoter So having real friends and working together with friends to do good things for your community is socialism? That’s an odd take on the idea of socialism if that’s what you think.

@ivandiazbotello The convention delegates were actually a pretty diverse group, racially, ethnically, and in age. In a group of over 7,000 delegates, it would be easy to take a single video and make it seem otherwise.

English

Ivan Diaz Botello@ivandiazbotello·7h

I keep seeing completely wrong takes from people who are upset that the Progressives won the nominations at the Michigan Democratic Party Convention in Detroit yesterday. The fact is, it seemed to me like the plurality of delegates were white Gen X or Boomers.

Same here! Mallory is not afraid to take on MAGA.

Janice Hough@leftcoastbabe

Never heard of Michigan Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow? This is the first speech I saw her give in 2022. Impressed then, impressed now. theguardian.com/us-news/2022/m…

English

Marie H. 🌻@_TokyoMarie_·10h

Hey, the drum line was a lot of fun! Seeing that image of Trump pretending to be God, not so much.

Mallory McMorrow@MalloryMcMorrow

Theater kid? Last week your guy was pretending to be Jesus Christ.

English

Marie H. 🌻@_TokyoMarie_·10h

@Press4BC @MalloryMcMorrow has been working hard every day in the Michigan Senate since she first flipped a Republican seat in 2018. Look at what she has done- always together with a team: authored state’s “red flag” law, helped repeal the 1931 abortion ban, and much more.

English

Mason Pressler@Press4BC·19h

I mean he’s not wrong. I like Mallory but you can’t just skate on being a nice person who speaks eloquently. Abdul is meeting the moment. He’s got policy, substance and fight. Saw a lot more fired up Abdul supporters at the convention today than for any other candidate.

Michigan Democrats! I am so proud to be your endorsed candidate for Secretary of State. Thank you for standing with me. There's much work ahead, and I am ready to #StandTALL with you to protect our democracy and our future. LFG!

This is called fun. More Dems should try it. See also: Mamdani, Obama and Harris.

@IndivisibleMich @AbdulElSayed I was so beyond annoyed. I couldn’t hear Haley. Even though she is not my preferred candidate, I wanted to hear her. If El Sayed’s supporters are that rude, I’m not likely to want to vote for him.

Indivisible Michigan@IndivisibleMich·13h

I talked to quite a few people who were so turned off by this they are no longer voting for @AbdulElSayed. It’s a democratic process, let all speak and let the people decide. Stop acting like children.

@MarieWicks4 I was on the other side of the room & couldn’t tell what the commotion was about. I was not happy with their behavior. I’ll say that it has been rare for me to witness this kind of behavior since I first started volunteering for candidates. These people need to get a grip.

English

Marie Wicks@MarieWicks4·1d

I got home from the Democratic convention about an hour and a half ago. I did not witness this behavior, but I will say that it is disgusting. It makes us no better than the January 6 insurrectionists. People should understand when they lose they lose and accept the results.

@puwulitics @shannonrwatts At some point, I heard other band/drum stuff but couldn’t tell where it was coming from. The Shkreli team was all dressed in orange shirts & had some folks in these scary looking orange and blue costumes. I thought it odd at first but got used to it.

@KaseyHelton05 Is morning better for you? When works best? I’m fortunate that my work schedule is such that I was able to make one in mid-afternoon between my morning & late afternoon clients.

English

Kasey Helton@KaseyHelton05·23h

@_TokyoMarie_ You mean the ones that were held in the late afternoon/early evening? Shift workers like myself usually can’t make these.

English

Kasey Helton@KaseyHelton05·1d

I’m glad people who work in politics think this is funny but it’s actually not. It’s Sunday night. Working people have jobs to get to on the morning and many delegates drove from very far. Plus, after all the crowds I’m pretty sure the memaws and pawpaws were ready for bed.

Sam Robinson@samueljrob

“This proves Democrats didn’t steal any election,” state Rep. Morgan Foreman jokes. Things are moving much slower than expected after voting has closed. It’s been closed for over an hour. The convention was supposed to end at 6pm, though organizers did warn delays were possible

English

Marie H. 🌻@_TokyoMarie_·23h

@lilienfeld1 @shannonrwatts Mallory is doing the work to connect with voters in person. This is but one event. There have been plenty of events over the last year where there was serious discussion.

English

Ready for discussion@lilienfeld1·23h

This is the prelude to losing. Many of us lived through this in the 1970s. We can assure you it is not much fun. And it sets up for things like the election of Reagan. So enjoy it if you must. But remember that it does a really good job of convincing voters Democrats aren't serious.

English

Marie H. 🌻@_TokyoMarie_·23h

@puwulitics @shannonrwatts Other candidates were doing some goofy, fun stuff, too.

English

Spaceraham@puwulitics·1d

@shannonrwatts If it was exclusively her event it would be fun, but people that don’t support her are also there. Not a big deal in and of itself, just wrong vibe.

@Misanthrope_777 @shannonrwatts Sour pus. Have you been sucking on lemons all day? As for me, I am so over the constant outrage. It’s not good for anyone’s mental health.

English

The Misanthrope@Misanthrope_777·1d

@shannonrwatts It's performative nonsense. Out of the three Democrats, she appeared to be the most reasonable. She's just as fake as the others.
