The @DNC needs to step back & consider what it means that Iâm unwilling to commit to voting for Biden in November. Some background, after Trump won in â16, I got in my car & drove 500 miles to D.C. to voice my opposition to him. Here is a clip from the GW studentâs march.

I spent over a week there, and at least a thousand dollars on travel, a hotel room, food & a couple hundred more to have placards printed, that I distributed to local high school & college students. It was memorable. Here is a clip from the high schoolerâs march to the Capitol.
On the day of the Electoral College vote, I drove 100 miles, to Columbia, to protest at the South Carolina State House and I was physically removed for yelling âTraitors to the flag,â and âFuck Trump,â at the top of my lungs. Thatâs me in green hoodie.
I joined the Peace Corps to fulfill my life long dream serving, when I returned, I continued my active resistance to Trump. I printed 100 of these yard signs & gave them away, free shipping & all. I recouped most of my money through donations, but was prepared to eat the $1,500.
Iâve traveled thousands of miles, spent thousands of dollars & spents hundreds of hours opposing Trump. Iâve donated thousands of dollars more to Democrats. Iâm not sharing these things with you because I want a cookie, but to show you just how committed I am opposing him.
I hate Donald Trump with everyone fiber in my being. The fact that Biden doesnât have my vote locked up should scare you.
I canât turn on the TV without hearing the term âBernie Bro,â like it isnât a demeaning slur, only used to shut down discourse and dismiss us.

Iâve been called a âsexist,â âracist,â âcult member,â âRussian troll,â and worst of all, âno better than a Trumper.â I canât blame the parrots on Twitter for repeating this type of rhetoric; the Establishment has sanctioned it, under the guise that we are the bullies.
When Klobuchar, Buttigieg, and Steyer all dropped out of the race, 2 days before Super Tuesday, and endorsed Biden, in unison, while Warren stayed in the race, splitting the progressive vote, that was the last straw. They made it clear that they had no intention of fighting fair.
Iâm not upset that Bernie lost, Iâm upset that the DNC & MSM made sure he lost. The party doesnât want me, or the 31% of us that voted for him, they only want our votes.This election, I will not be voting for or against Trump; I will be voting for or against the Democratic Party.
If you think that Iâm a aberration & my grievances should be ignored, get ready to lose, unlike â16, we wonât turn out. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
If the party wants my vote theyâll make amends for their treatment of progressives over the past 5 years.

A full-throated public apology from Biden & a detailed plan to make sure we are never treated like the enemy again, will earn my vote and a lot of others. They have nothing to lose but pride.
