THREAD 📌📌📌
So @JoeBiden has derailed the primary to be all about him because he is plummeting in the polls. He is claiming @KamalaHarris blindsided him about an issue he raised and which @CoryBooker, @ewarren and Harris had all called him out on a week before the debate.

#Biden took to TV for a special one-on-one interview of the sort Trump got regularly in 2016, but which @HillaryClinton did not. In that @ChrisCuomo interview Biden claimed he was a victim, demonized both #Harris and @AOC, and got no hard questions about his record from Cuomo.

#Biden framing @KamalaHarris as the longstanding media trope of the Duplicitous and Angry Black Woman is unacceptable and it's utterly repugnant that so many white (and some black) Democrats and avowed liberals are embracing this cover for their anti-Harris feelings.

This is a primary. It's about vetting candidates. @JoeBiden is running on his 48yr record in politics. If he cannot stand up to a valid critique of that record which includes him arguing for a constitutional amendment to stop busing, then Trump will flatten him.

.@KamalaHarris won the debate hands down and @JoeBiden used his white male privilege to demand a do-over on national TV. No other candidate got that option.
Sexism was the core of 2016 and now we are right back in it because the obvious best candidates are Harris & @ewarren.

My mentions are nothing but ahistorical bs about how busing didn't work from people grateful #Biden has given them cover.
THIS is how Democrats will lose every voter under 40-- by making the election about propping up old white men in a country that's 51.5% female & 40% POC.

Move away from the Biden pity party and back to the issues. Watch the @essencefest debates. And remember that the nominee has to be strong, focused and forward-thinking, not mired in a past that never was and delusions that Trump is an outlier rather than what the #GOP built.
