THREAD: Right now, as these results continue to come out one thing is for certain -- these far-left progressives are taking a massive ass whooping at the polls.
The national appeals, social stunts, nasty tactics, attacks on the local press did more harm than good.
As I knew.

Philly politics is local, you can't run a citywide race as a national candidate.
I tried to tell folks that races will be won on the ground, not online solely.
Some spent so much time pushing moral platitudes than strategic campaigning.
They didn't read the room at all.

While progressives were divided, the establishment got tighter -- capitalizing off of the division to galvanize around pragmatic candidates.

THREAD: It's become clear to me in these recent conversations about Lil Nas X, Naomi Osaka, and Simone Biles, is that a lot of y'all are scared to see this generation of young Black people prioritize themselves above institutions and the gaze of whiteness.

To have the power to simply say no -- to prioritize your peace of mind, to say these "things" don't matter more than myself -- is something a lot of Black people have never had the opportunity or privilege or confidence to do.
