Musk: I mean, have you Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price.. What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like who derives joy from that?

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.
In Denmark:
- Health care and college are free.
- The starting wage is $22/hr.
- Paid parental leave is 1 year.
- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.
- All workers get pensions.

Who cares what #JamesCarville thinks? What a pathetic thing to say. @sanders.senate.gov leading the way as always!
No. Now is not the time to play dead.
The Democrats have already played dead for too many years.
60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Millions of seniors are going hungry.
Now is the time to stand up for the working class of this country.
