As a 2016 Bernie staffer who voted for him both then and this year, there’s no way around it: Today is incredibly disappointing.

First of all, #ThankYouBernie.

Second, I’m ready to spend every day through Election Day working to elect Joe Biden. 1/

I’m gonna be honest: Joe Biden was closer to the bottom of my list in our original field of candidates than the top. But I have two words for why I’m supporting him:

SUPREME. COURT. 2/

Trump has already appointed two justices, and could get two more if he wins another term.

If Donald Trump gets two more or even one more #SCOTUS justice, the entire progressive agenda is dead on arrival for at least the next three decades.

No ifs, ands, or buts. 3/

I want #MedicareForAll, and we don’t have three decades to wait.

I want a #GreenNewDeal, and we don’t have three decades to wait.

I want an overhaul of our criminal legal system, and we don’t have three decades to wait. 4/

I want to uplift what @nextgenjosh says here.

Power ALWAYS lies with us, the people, to make real change.

#NotMeUs is Bernie’s slogan for a reason. I plan to honor it. https://twitter.com/nextgenjosh/status/1239626967399518211?s=20
