Black people aren& #39;t stupid, nor are they sell-outs, and it& #39;s not our place to speak for who& #39;s civil rights record is our isn& #39;t deserving of trust. ESPECIALLY speaking over LITERAL CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS to do so!

As much as I loathe Biden, Black and other severely marginalized…

…voters DO have reasons to distrust people like Sanders. Like a long, long, loooong history of being lied to, manipulated, and ultimately thrown under the bus, by Utopian left-wing idealist white (or white passing) men who make grandiose promises.

It& #39;s a MASSIVE fucking mistake to just ASSUME Black voters support Biden because they like the establishment, or dislike leftist policies, or are "sell-outs". It& #39;s most likely a question of tempered expectations and distrust of government and politicians IN GENERAL.

Honestly, I distrust Sanders too. It& #39;s been a long time since I transitioned, and I& #39;ve learned it& #39;s very easy for a privileged politician to TALK big about all the nice things he WOULD do, from a losing position. But what COUNTS is what actually fucking HAPPENS, materially.

That doesn& #39;t mean I support Biden. But it& #39;s a MASSIVE part of why I preferred Warren to Sanders.
