I'd never vote for Donald Trump.
But for me to actually campaign, volunteer, donate, and endorse @JoeBiden - here are the 5 things I'd have to see first.

A thread....
1. I need @JoeBiden to admit that he was the architect of modern day mass incarceration. Not just with the crime bill, but dozens of bills & laws. He also required states to follow them for funding.
And he needs to apologize for it.
And propose the most robust solution ever.

2. Right now the minimum age for Medicare is 65.
I am a part of a movement that wants to make that age 0.
Biden just announced he'll move it to 60.
That was an insult. Biden needs to try again.
Bernie proposes taking it down to zero over the course of 4 years.

3. Joe Biden's plan to stop climate change is small and bad.
If he refuses to simply adopt Bernie's plan, he can follow Elizabeth Warren and adopt the plan of Washington Governor @JayInslee - it was the gold standard before Bernie's.
She adopted it. Joe should too.

4. I've now counted at least 50 times that @JoeBiden blatantly lied about his participation in the Civil Rights Movement from sit-ins he never participated in to marches he was not a part of, to being trained in Black churches as a boy.
He must apologize & explain this.
He must apologize & explain this.
5. Biden needs to nominate a progressive Vice President. It's not enough for it to be a moderate or conservative woman or person of color.
If Joe Biden wants to rally the progressive base, he must nominate a progressive Vice President. I hope it's a progressive woman of color.
