Fun debate on theweekendprime tonight

@theweekendprime You nailed it Emma

@theweekendprime Thanks friend 🥰

@theweekendprime Glad you plainly said that you do t care about him ever having a “real job” in the private sector. These people cannot comprehend of an ideology that doesn’t always circle back to subservience to capital.

@theweekendprime the fact that a namedrop of Ezra Klein in a serious context made you laugh lmaoooooo

@theweekendprime I’m pretty floored that you don’t seem to recognize just how left the party has shifted on so many issues since Clinton. Bernie losing in 2016 and 2020 doesn’t mean that both the dem electorate and congressional makeup haven’t dramatically transformed.

@theweekendprime What on earth was this panel? Great work holding your ground here

@theweekendprime The Ezra Klein article they quoted was basically just this

@theweekendprime God, that was enraging, actually. (Not you—the smug assholes tripping over each other to interrupt and talk over you.)

@theweekendprime The strategy of running candidates with no real principles just for the sake of winning is telling of their beliefs. sacrificing the core coalitions of the party just to put a Republican wearing a blue label in WV didn’t even workout. Your response to them was on point.

@theweekendprime Braindead panel, but you crushed it

@theweekendprime Thank you for clocking them with common sense regarding the pulse of our politics, Emma. Also...centrists love to bring up Manchin but fail to consider that he chose to give up his for a MAGA candidate to win it.

@theweekendprime Haha being a councilman isn’t a job?? If anything a job in the private sector has less relevance to serving constituents as a mayor than being a councilman

@theweekendprime Debating with right wing Democrats is pointless but thanks for presenting the left perspective on MSNBC

@mehdirhasan @theweekendprime "He's talking about being practical." What's practical about 1/2 of the population losing their reproductive rights?

@theweekendprime Love smug Dem consultant and Never Trumper assholes who just keep losing thinking they know the path forward for the party. What a joke.

@theweekendprime Emma vs basically everyone. How it is to be a leftist

@theweekendprime “Assemblyman is a job.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@theweekendprime What the fuck is the point of "winning" if it just about "winning" and their are no real principles or beliefs attached to that "winning". What is the "winning" for?

@theweekendprime "He's never had a job in the private sector" The greatest Democrat of all time, FDR, never had a job in the private sector

@theweekendprime From the first response, there was a lot of yelling/scolding and not a lot of listening or engaging going on. I wonder why it struck such a nerve to say dems need to build a longer lasting coalition around working class issues rather than hollow “winnable”candidates🤔I wonder

“not in the private sector” made me roll my eyes into my brain. so inspiring and awesome to see you being strong and firm in these cable news discussions, emma!

@krystalball @theweekendprime “What if a republican was in Manchin’s seat?” Uhm there was bc he was

@theweekendprime I have never seen a guest get this much pushback on this show. You were 100% right in the analysis and got hit with wild hysterics of delusion. Catherine seems to think we can keep doing the same capitulation to the right but we always lose that way.

@theweekendprime There’s already a Right wing party in America and it’s called the Republican Party. Why are the Republicans allowed to be as far Right as they like while the DemocRatic Party has to be “inclusive” of both the Right and Left? John Avlon is as ridiculous as Ezra Klein.

@theweekendprime The ppl talking about casting a big tent are the very ones shutting down Progressives… and we know why (Zionism). They would have a bigger tent by just embracing the base/liberal ideas vs chasing the elusive Centrist Right.

@theweekendprime Emma V is cooking as always! I’m a republican who loves you!

@theweekendprime Next time, ask these people to "point out the left wing of the GOP". "2 wings" my ass!

@mehdirhasan @theweekendprime Their faces when you told them about themselves 😂. These idiot Ezraphiles spouting nonsense is infuriating. They are racist, classist LOSERS.

@theweekendprime I like how the hack on your right laughs at the irrefutable truth that Klein is a gatekeeper and water boy for the centrist/corporate wing.

@theweekendprime classic corporate shill Ezra Klein 😭 like come on… this is why you don’t ever ask a leftist how to WIN votes they literally cannot do that nor do they want to do that..

@theweekendprime Obviously @EmmaVigeland was correct, throwing trans people and women under the bus isn’t the answer. Offering Americans a clear vision to address the most pressing issue in this country (affordability) is. @TheDemocrats have completely missed the moment.

@theweekendprime I don't give a fuck about 'private sector experience'

@theweekendprime Fuck the private sector.

@theweekendprime Jesus christ that ending... they literally believe only CEOs can enter politics.

@theweekendprime I wish they would’ve actually let you finish an answer without talking over you.

@theweekendprime Amazing job Emma
