      Shahid Buttar for Congress Retweeted Justin Jackson

      I will never criticize Bernie, if only because he’s done more for working-class Americans and the future than any American in a generation. But I agree with @J_ManPrime21 that political heroes are never the answer. #NotMeUs means many things worth examining. Thread. /1https://twitter.com/J_ManPrime21/status/1260280882633433088 …

      They turned Bernie into a company man. Ya hate to see it. Stop believing in political heroes. You’ll be disappointed every time

      #NotMeUs reflects our constitutional principle of popular sovereignty. Candidates don’t win or lose elections. *Volunteers and movements* win or lose elections, with candidates serving as sails through which supporters combine energy. That also has further implications. /2

      I come to running for office after 20 years of leading non-profits & advocacy campaigns, taking action in the courts, briefing Congress, organizing artists, producing art, putting my body on the line, and training others. Elections are part—but not all—of the #NotMeUs puzzle. /3

      Another implication of #NotMeUs is that *Bernie knew* that We (writ large) would need to finish what he started. No single figure could possibly achieve a vision as bold & visionary as the one he put forward. It will take *all* of Us. We aren’t “Us” without *you*. /4

      Many people across the #NotMeUs movement have shared their disillusion—and even despair—over the past few weeks. I understand why people committed to the future might struggle to find hope at a time like this. Between the pandemic and fascism, the future seems ominous. /5

      Add climate chaos to all that, and despair might seem understandable. But any despair reflects fear, not the facts. I have the privilege of knowing people doing amazing work across the country. #NotMeUs We may appear down, but we are not out. /6

      Our neighbors are showing up in inspiring ways. 📌A UC Berkeley student organized a network that produced & delivered industrial quantities of hand sanitizer to unhoused & elderly folks across the Bay Area. 📌I spoke with an activist in the Bayview with a mutual aid project. /7

      📌SF’s DA @chesaboudin has dramatically reduced our jail population, advancing public health and human rights at once. 📌@Ilhan proposed a visionary bill to #CancelTheRent, even if Pelosi wants to bailout corporate lobbyists. Inspiring opportunities abound even in dark times. /8

          #NotMeUs also means that none of us have the luxury of observing politics as if from a removed perspective. We are all implicated. We are all responsible. And we are all in this together. /9

          You are far from alone. We confront the challenges of this unique moment not just as individuals, but as a movement with the numbers, vision, diversity, skills, and networks we need to shape history. Together, no force can stop #NotMeUs. /10

          (ahem) Anyone—especially politicians, including Bernie—should be challenged *on issues.* For instance, I’m disappointed that Bernie didn’t vote on the Wyden-Daines amendment. That was a missed opportunity with potentially grave costs. /11

          Shahid Buttar for Congress Retweeted Leaf Me Alone

          In contrast, claims that “Bernie sold us out” are weak. No armchair critique of Bernie’s tactics (after he’s spent half a century fighting for us) is a substitute for doing the work. Rage doesn’t help. Grieve if you need to. Then organize. The future needs #NotMeUs. /12https://twitter.com/greggorox/status/1260839186749444096 …

          Wonderful thread. You're absolutely right, we're all in this together and we must continue what Bernie started. We're all mad/distraught/disappointed but we should channel those feelings into the fight. We will win.
