This piece mischaracterizes why many folks reject lesser-evil voting. There's a tradeoff between building long-term power & going all in to prevent a worse short-term result. The decision to do either may be rooted in White privilege but also may be rooted in social justice.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/938786971895369728 …
180 how? Be specific. I’ve said repeatedly that Russia matters. It does. And that it deserves attention, but that it is not more important than organizing, and building momentum on many other things. What do you disagree with there?

There's still ZERO proof that
#Russia amounts to anything at all. And as Benintimated, your deliberate misrepresentations of the very VALID reasons people had for NOT voting for Shillary are just plain manipulative. You lost a lotta cred when you got behind a pathological liar. -
And HERE is where your argument is very shaky, Shaun. You fail to discern between a candidate who simply talks the talk, and one who voters feel they can trust to Walk the Talk. To you, as long as they campaign on typical "Dem" or center-left points, they are the obvious choice.pic.twitter.com/7y15XfcGTc

You fail to consider that campaigning Estab Dems ALWAYS seem to 'represent' the agenda which 'we' care about. What's the Track Record of electing these sorta Estab Dems tho ? History doesn't reinforce the argument for 'automatically' voting 'lesser of two evils'. It hasn't worked
