Honest question: what's wrong with these tweets?


The peeing in bottles thing is true.

Sanders is 1% of half of Congress. Not dictator of Vermont.

They lied about what Warren said.


This is the first time I hear about Amazon News account, but from a factual perspective, they are right, despite one like it or not. Sanders is indeed a powerful politician, which is what they said in the tweet. $11.75 vs. $15 is a 20% gap, which is quite a lot and is also a fact. Again, I'm looking at it purely from a factual perspective. It seems to me that the criticism mainly comes from people not liking AmazonNews being blatantly honest in their tweets and not giving a shit about political correctness. My impression is based on quickly glancing at the most recent tweets, so I could be wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.


How are they a “progressive workplace” from a factual perspective?


Well they support a national $15/hr minimum wage, for one thing, though the cynical side of me thinks this is more to close the door behind them on competition and will result in further closures of small local alternatives.


Vermont has a tiny population, Sanders has massive influence. If he wanted to work on mobilizing change in his state he could. Now a better counter argument is he is elected to work in the federal government, so his constituents don’t expect him to effect change in their state law.


The one denying claims of pee bottles is factually wrong & is actually evident from the operations staff guidelines, which probably the one tweeting doesn't know about.


I see this being downvoted.

A gentle reminder to everyone on HN, Not everyone lives in US, and even if they do not everyone is well versed in everything going on in US.
