THREAD:
The @DNC needs to step back & consider what it means that I’m unwilling to commit to voting for Biden in November. Some background, after Trump won in ‘16, I got in my car & drove 500 miles to D.C. to voice my opposition to him. Here is a clip from the GW student’s 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 schooler’s 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 “Traitors to the flag,” and “Fuck Trump,” at the top of my lungs. That’s 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.
I’ve traveled thousands of miles, spent thousands of dollars & spents hundreds of hours opposing Trump. I’ve donated thousands of dollars more to Democrats. I’m 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 doesn’t have my vote locked up should scare you.
I can’t turn on the TV without hearing the term “Bernie Bro,” like it isn’t a demeaning slur, only used to shut down discourse and dismiss us.
I’ve been called a “sexist,” “racist,” “cult member,” “Russian troll,” and worst of all, “no better than a Trumper.” I can’t 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.
I’m not upset that Bernie lost, I’m upset that the DNC & MSM made sure he lost. The party doesn’t 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 I’m a aberration & my grievances should be ignored, get ready to lose, unlike ‘16, we won’t turn out. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
If the party wants my vote they’ll 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.

There comes a time in all dictatorial regimes where the choices are liberalize or die.
