To all the white leftists who made it to Iowa and/or New Hampshire to knock doors for Bernie and not Nevada and/or South Carolina I just wanna say get your head on fucking straight
care about black & brown voters more. get out of your comfort zone.

Iâm sick of all/mostly white leftist spaces in DSA. shut the fuck up about solidarity if you donât feel comfortable around poor/working class black or brown folks listening to their issues.
I got sick for the second time in 2-3 weeks because I spent 8 days straight knocking dirty rusting trailer doors walking up decrepit rotting steps in rural central South Carolina. Almost every single person behind those doors was black and/or poor.
donât forget them. this goes for any white people and even well off black & brown people too
donât forget those poor systemically undereducated folks in Orangeburg, Bamberg, Allendale counties

they may be ill-informed enough from our POV to vote Biden or Steyer but you should still be informed AND moral enough to come help them, persuade them the best you can, and mature enough to respect their choice when they disagree
I met a man with gangrenous feet due to diabetic neuropathy. He invited me into his trailer while his family/HHAs disinfected his foot with an alcohol wipe.
I met folks who barely knew how to read/write. met old black men who were sharecroppers in the 20th fucking century.

Black liberation and abolitionism touches some of the deepest parts of heart and I take it so fucking personal when Bernie never visits Orangeburg or doesnât really try in this state like he should. It makes me so mad.
I cried after a door today making eye contact with this single mom, talking to her about diabetes & poverty in South Carolina
Bernie didnât make diabetes justice or cannabis justice centerpieces of his campaign here. huge oversight.

this campaign tries god knows and i love it I do but it doesnât always know how to hit at the material issues of certain communities. thereâs plenty of amazing black leadership in the Bernie campaign. it should get used to its max extent. it wasnât, I donât think.
I want so bad for there to be a socialist Lumumba/Sankara type from a southern state. even a commie Huey Long/Cassius Clay type from a Southern state. Radicals from the south have to rise up from the south to appeal here.
Steyer talks less ambiguously about cash payment reparations because he can fund the down payment out of his pocket but that doesnât mean heâs worth your damn vote. Never trust a billionaire.
that @RevJJackson didnât return the favor from â88 here really hurt my heart tbh. What happened to the rainbow coalition Jesse??
CMON JESSE DAMN!!! https://twitter.com/rokhanna/status/1233461097526681600?s=21 https://twitter.com/RoKhanna/status/1233461097526681600
whatever. I never liked any non-losing non-quixotic battles anyway.
It just fucks me up that I got sick TWICE in like 3 weeks for this campaign and Bernie didnât even go to Orangeburg or even really try to win SC
White lefty radicals reading this please consider giving money to @DDFightPac to help them elect Bernie. join @Dreamdefenders as a member especially if you live in Florida.
consider looking into a @byp100 chapter in a major city you live in. or a @ColorOfChange chapter.

I know whoever screengrabbed these is looking to smear our movement with it. imo most Bernie supporters donât feel this way. I think they wanna fight for every vote(r) & person. but that ANY Bernie supporter feels this way makes me furious & I disown them https://twitter.com/tepsac1/status/1233911716351602688
