Look, strategically, it is much harder to push a xenophobic, egomaniac who will openly do and say incredibly hateful things, then to push someone who doesn& #39;t 100% align with your politics, but can be held accountable. You are so angry because Bernie didn& #39;t get the nomination?...
... So I& #39;m I. I worked my butt off in 2016 to elect him and continued in 2020 in a different capacity. But I will be very likely fricken undocumented again when SCOTUS makes a decision on DACA. I don& #39;t have the privilege to be "Bernie or bust". Trump will deport me & my mom.
In 2016 I was so angry, that decided to stay completely out of the general election. I was SO angry at Hilary and the DNC. You have no idea. Now I regret it so much. I still don& #39;t like Hilary, but I assure you we would have a movement holding her feet to the fire right now.
Now all we have is a nightmare of a government that has hurt so many people I work directly with & I& #39;m TERRIFIED of a second Trump term. I do trust that Bernie is pushing Biden internally, and trust that the political revolution will be there to hold Biden accountable if elected.
"But Biden can& #39;t beat Trump," you might say. Well, someone has to beat his a** and the only one left is Biden, so it is on us to ensure that happens. "But it was so unfair..." I know! But what good does it do right now to focus on that? We& #39;re in a different stage of the election.
Familia, we are in a very dangerous situation. The DNC sucks. Biden is not the candidate many of us wanted. But let& #39;s not make the same mistake. Let& #39;s defeat @realDonaldTrump. Our planet and those of us who are the most vulnerable will suffer if we don& #39;t. Trust me.

Love,
