spent an hour long meeting yesterday going over both Warren’s and Harris’s resumes and experience and now I’m more sure than ever before that many of you are selling Senator Harris short because you’re more comfortable with white women breaking that glass ceiling first https://twitter.com/cornellbelcher/status/1273093083257810950

There are far more elegant detailed threads about this in the Twitters and so I‘m not even going to try to go there- but will use this space right now as a record for myself because many of these things I didn’t know until yesterday when I spent time on my own:

The way some of y’all flex here about Liz’s role in establishing the CFPB and running it- I thought she had occupied that seat for years and years and was given a gold plaque for the years of service in that role.

She lead that office for 318 days with a budget <$300 million.

Meanwhile-The Black lady ran the 2nd largest justice system in the country for about 2,190 days (6 years) after winning her election vs being appointed- & stepped into a budget of approx $700 millions/ a proposed budget cut of $35 million. The budget when she left >$800 million

*And only vacated that job to make history as the 2nd Black woman to serve in the Senate- but I digress*

Ok back on topic

I was “2 weeks ago” years old when I discovered that the crowned “finance guru’s” degree is in Speech Pathology(great and noble and needed profession- no shade) while the Black lady has an actual ECONOMICS degree prior to going to law school. Again-ECONOMICS...like money and shit

Again- the way some of y’all carry on that fact always gets lost in the sauce.

The Black lady has been a lifelong Democrat with the receipts to match. The other hasn’t- that too gets lost in the sauce

“But she recovered millions from banks in the housing crisis after math”

The Black lady did too.

Both serve on committees that lend relevant knowledge and to experience needed in these times- so I’ll call it a draw.

Both touted the mantle of Black Maternal health advocates during their presidential campaigns- yet when they both faced the sting of having to suspend the campaigns they worked hard for- one showed up to this...and one didn’t

When asked about transgender rights and advocacy during a town hall- one gave an empathetic answer to accompany the decades of receipts from being an LGBTQ advocate and ally- the other sang a song about Jesus that included verbiage progressives would call “identity politics”

While a slew of Black blue checks spent months trying to convince me only 1 of these ladies centered Black women in their campaigns-the Black lady was actually centering Black women in her campaign-least of which included hosting 2 Black Women empowerment events in ATL &Carolina

*It was an amazing and empowering morning I got to share with my mother AND eat my weight in breakfast meats*

When one woman was licking her wounds and finalizing their logo to establish their own brand of “Democrats” after suspending their campaign- the Black lady flew across the country thanking her campaign workers and immediately put in work for dotard’s impeachment hearings,

...Co-sponsoring bipartisan bills, handling business and supporting fellow Democrats.

We are subjected daily to the dangerous Twitter rants and threats from an orange tinted shitgibbon with the nuclear codes.

The Black lady stood alone and was first to officially request Twitter follow it’s own rules & suspend his account.

The other lady scoffed at this notion.

When asked about the systemic racism optics in having 2 non-representative non-diverse states set the tone for the primary-The Black lady provided a clear and succinct answer advocating for change.

The other lady said she’s “just a player in the game”. (K?)

The Black lady made a difficult but fiscally sound decision to exit the race prior to the primaries-hopefully saving her & her family from the burden of campaign debt while also providing income and benefits to her campaign staff until they can land other gigs.

The other lady believed the Black blue check hype and continued on- spending a gazillion dollars to not come in first in ANY of the 19 primaries in addition to only placing third in her own state (awkward)

We’ve spent 2 Days watching some of you peacock about the other lady bringing in $6 million dollars for Joe from 620 donors (I smell a wine cave reference here but will refrain and stay focused)- using this as further proof she’s more “qualified”

The Black lady raised $3.5 million from approximately 1,400 supporters ‘small’ donations. I believe this is what some of you would call “grassroots”-supposedly ranking higher on the Purity Police scale we’ve had to endure since 2016.

And finally- many of you spent the primary demanding The Black lady speak up and defend the Other lady anytime she faced critique...

Meanwhile- you and the Other Lady are when over 100 tone deaf arrogant bleepholes have the nerve to send one huge microaggression...

...in the form of a “letter”-demanding a ticket that basically shits on the very voters who even made a Joe Biden 2020 possible. You spent the primary bitching that Joe was “too old”- you’re now pushing a septuagenarian all white ticket. You know who isn’t 70? The Black lady

Like I said- there are other threads with more receipts, details, etc-I just decided to use my insomniac hours to process my deep dive yesterday because for the damn life of me- I’m still not seeing how you come to the conclusion that the Other lady is more qualified...

Maybe one of these days we’ll figure out what’s not qwhite white about that assertion .

Fin. Night!

Ps: one of these days we’ll address the real reasons Black Blue check Twitter is salty when it comes to The Black lady. In addition to colorism-I believe some of y’all are salty that she had the nerve to make history and be great instead of settling as just another pretty face

I also keep seeing Liz elevated to Majority/Minority leader or Secy of State or Secy of the Treasury...why? What has she done to elevate herself over a Sherod Brown or Tammy Duckworth or Gillibrand or even Katie Porter?
