I am so amazed at how I’m only acknowledged as a “citizen” of this country when y’all need my vote. I grew up in the projects for 9 years, I never had a childhood Christmas bc my mom couldn’t afford gifts and food, I went to a public school full of metal detectors and police. —
My sister DIED because she was afraid to go to the hospital to find out what was wrong with her because she would be stuck with a hospital bill that she couldn’t afford, my grandparents died of cancer because they couldn’t afford treatment to stop it early, My best friend —
is serving a 60 YEAR PRISON SENTENCE for some shit he ain’t do, 80% of my family fell victim to the crack epidemic and the war on drugs, Every generation of my family grew up on welfare. This country has disposed of me and my family my entire life. They have relegated us to the
margins MY ENTIRE LIFE. Nobody gave a flying FUCK if we lived or died, AND NOW YALL WANT TO CONVINCE ME THAT I AM A CITIZEN CHARGED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GETTING DONALD TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE??? NOW I MATTER?!?! HALF THE PEOPLE I GREW UP WITH ARE DEAD BECAUSE
OF THIS COUNTRY!! I WISH TO FUCKING GOD I WOULD EVEN CONSIDER SAVING THIS GOD-FORSAKEN COUNTRY. NOBODY SAVED US!! AND WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT THE PROTECTION OF THE STATE.

If you haven’t figured out how to do that yet that’s YOUR PROBLEM NOT MINE! GO TF TO HELL!!
I do not want reform. I do not want a political candidate who will take my concerns into consideration. I do not want representation from a Black woman who is also an AKA and HBCU Grad, as a way to convince me on progress. I WANT ABOLITION NOW! anything less is insufficient!
