Bernie fam: we don't owe @TheDemocrats anything. We've been gaslit & scapegoated by them & an accessory media in hopes of silencing our voices & ultimately manipulating us to fall in line. Nearly 80% of us voted for HRC in 2016, more than her supporters did for Obama in 2008. 1/x
Despite these statistics & Sanders' selfless campaigning for HRC, we were blamed along with Sanders for HRC's 2016 loss.The DNC never mentioned HRC skipping key swing states, her pied piper strategy of elevating Trump, the electoral college, & HRC's overall weak candidacy. 2/x
The DNC is repeating this same failed strategy with Joe Biden. I canvassed for HRC in 2016. What people didn't like about her was her inauthenticity. #LyingBiden is even more of a liability than she was. We will lose with Biden & this Sisphyean cycle of abuse will continue. 3/x
We don't have to keep perpetuating this abusive relationship with the party. If we support Biden &/or any other corporate moderates simply out of harm reduction, we are legitimizing their manufactured narrative of imperialism, austerity, & deferment to corporate interests. 4/x
I used to believe that I could reform the party from within, be a gadfly of sorts. The DCCC blacklist, the party's regressive swing to the right, & its treatment of Sanders & his supporters have shown me that this is a futile effort. We aren't welcome by the Democratic Party. 5/x
While I will support Sanders for as long as he runs & if he captures the nomination (I encourage the rest of you to as well), I will commit one final act of loyalty to the party if Biden wins the nomination. I will take Biden's advice to vote for someone else. #DemExit2020 6/6
