      Many of us strongly prefer @RepBarbaraLee to be the Majority Leader over Nancy Pelosi. All I know is that when all of this is said and done, it's going to be a problem for me and thousands of others if the Democratic majority has no Black women in leadership. PERIOD.

      NOW is the time for us to be actively talking about the Democratic candidates for President. Yes, I know runoffs & recounts are happening. I'm working with those campaigns. But I ASSURE you that candidates are actively gathering commitments & blessings, etc. as we speak.

      I have not made a commitment to any candidates who might be running for President, but have told several of them that I will be waiting to see who all announces, what they say they stand for, who they hire to run their campaigns before I make my decision.

      I'll be frank and tell you two Democrats that I am 99% sure I won't be supporting - primarily because of their dismal history on criminal justice reform over the course of their entire careers. Joe Biden & Kamala Harris. They both helped build & advance mass incarceration.

      Just 4 years ago to this very day, a federal judge had to ORDER California Attorney General Kamala Harris to release more non-violent offenders from prison, but she fought it hard because "prisons would lose an important labor pool." That's a quote.http://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-ff-federal-judges-order-state-to-release-more-prisoners-20141114-story.html …

      I like Joe Biden. I like his toothy grin. I think his friendship with Obama is cute. I think he's relatable. But to see him this week proudly give George W. Bush a humanitarian award stemming from the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan deeply disturbed me. Those wars are criminal.

      I won't be endorsing any candidates for President that recently took happy photos with Benjamin Netanyahu or have refused to speak out against the hundreds of unarmed Palestinians who've been slaughtered by Israel this year. I don't have many dealbreakers. That's one for me.

      I have a list of 8 people that I would consider not only endorsing for President, but would stop everything and throw my whole life into helping them get elected. But even for those 8, I'm going to evaluate their platforms, their senior staff hires, and their actual history.

      I like Beto a lot and hope that he either runs for Senate in Texas again, since the other seat is about to open up, or runs for President. I think he's qualified to do both. But I also feel just as strongly about Andrew Gillum & Stacey Abrams. I'd seriously consider all 3.

          They will also not be able to get away with running centrists just because they happen to be PoC, or women or both. London Breed is a perfect example. Progressives were bullied to vote for her for SF mayor, now she has proven she's to the right of tycoon Marc Benioff.

          The race of the candidate does not guarantee they will be running in the best interest of POC.

          But those 2 red States rank #2 and 3 in population and electoral college votes behind California. I'm not hating on those guys, but you have to win to gain power and that's too big a hole to dig out of. You have to think strategically. Chess not Checkers.

          Those are red states where they got closer to winning than anyone EVER expected and they had immense support outside of their state. They did amazing things and very well could win in a run for president.

          I believe this last round of mid-terms was the tremor that signals a seismic shift in the American electoral process; "business as usual" isn't going to cut it.

          I've said it before: Biden/Harris 2020. They compliment each other's strengths and weaknesses extremely well. And if Biden agrees to only serve one term, which he should, that gives Kamala Harris a terrific platform to run from in 2024.
