In the era of #MeToo
AND #BLM, I don’t know how you fix your mouth to tell the base of your party, Black Women that it’s time for them to move on from the way your husband handled that hearing. This is so tone-deaf but loud & clear.

Joe is funny, charismatic & is prob a great Pop Pop to his grandkids. But in the yr of our Lord 2019/2020, in the place our country is right now, the place where the Dem base is right now, I think his time has come and gone. I really do. Will any candidate be perfect? No.

I think this election is bigger than any one person. The Supreme Court is on the line, Climate Change, Health Care, folks overworked and underpaid, the corrupt prison industrial complex, racism...like there is SO much that has to be...needs to be handled NOW. I don’t think...

...Joe gets it. Dr. Biden couldn’t possibly get it with that quote about Anita Hill. Now, one could say, what else is he supposed to do? He apologized. He waited to apologize till he was running 4 Potus a 3rd time so he’s not an idiot. His handling of this has turned so many...

...folks off. And I’m saying that as someone who will vote for whomever the Dem nominee is just like I did last time. Like tens of millions of Americans did last time & will do this time because we know the stakes. We know what’s on the line. But comments like this aren’t...

...just a few occurrences. The Bidens are out of touch on a whole lot of things and that’s going to be a real problem. Joe is stuck in his ways and at his age he isn’t changing. Like Bernie & 45. You know what you’re getting. And it’s old, stale and tired.

And please know, I’m tryna be really careful. I know how tense things were during the 2016 election
#OnHere. I’m not arguing with folks about who I like. There’s gonna be 1 nominee and it’s not my job to defend them. They have to show & prove. I also know the bots r VERY real...Show this thread -
...and they made a huge impact last time. I’m aware and I’m not playing that game. Like who you like & support them. I ALSO think, as a Progressive, as a Black Woman, I get to express my anger at some of these fuck ass choices. EYE get to say I’m tired of Establishment Dems...

...and them wanting to go back to 2008. To get back to civility. We aren’t going back. Black women were dying due to childbirth complications at 3x4 times the rate of WW under Obama. College was expensive as shit under Obama. Black folks were over policed under Obama. So no...

...we aren’t going back. I am not blaming him because he did so much good and there was NO WAY he was going to dismantle 200plus years of systemic oppression in8yrs, espc with the Congress he had. Moving forward, you need to be to the LEFT of Obama. And those are the facts.

I am completely uninterested in Centrist Dems. Today’s Repubs are more Conserve than their faves were. And look what they’re getting done. Folks look at AOC, Rashida & them & get scared. Well fuck, I’m like why aren’t the rest of you this amped?? We have shit to do & shit 2 fix.

She can say it because Biden is up 32 points. If someone doesn’t get close to him this is who we’re going to have. I agree with every point you make. I also agree that Trump has to go.

You’re adding absolutely nothing to this convo Alean. Infact, you’re coming off paternalistic as if I, don’t know what’s at stake. I said what I said & as a member of the base of the party, BW, I have a right to.

Take it as you wish. As a mother of Women of Color, the childbirth rates impact me as well. Those are my daughters. I too know what is at stake, and I also am watching the polls. No one is coming close.

Let me tell you something, E. Warren is so impressive. I love hearing her speak.

E. Warren's policy plans runs circles around that of every other candidate. I just hope the establishment Dems and Bernie Bros don't ruin what should be the obvious choice at this point.

I don't like Biden or Sanders. Unfortunately I will vote for them if they are the nominee, but I'll have an attitude about it. I get so tired of our votes being taken for granted. We deserve to have a candidate that serves our best interests just like anyone else.
-
Well... White dems KNOW we'll do the right pragmatic thing for self preservation. That's leverage they know they have. I voted for Clinton enthusiastically in 2016 as the SCOTUS was on the line. With the courts gone now, being picky in 2020.
-
That's leverage I wish they didn't have. It gets us candidates who really don't care about us each time. The alternate options are usually so much worse we are forced to vote lesser of 2 evils. This is why now Biden and Sanders are front runners for the nomination.
