Castro dropping out isn’t just “another candidate of color being out of the race”

His analysis of RACE & HOW it created different lived experiences & outcomes was so important.

Billionaires are buying this race while the candidates visiting the poor & unhoused are forced out

He launched his campaign in Puerto Rico, crossed the border to help asylum seekers in Mexico, visited SKID row in LA, spoke with men currently being held for high bail amounts in DC.

Castro mattered in this cycle.

I don’t even want to talk about the few candidates of color left....

Can we discuss the mediocre, centrist white candidates that are still in the race?

Pete has a fraction of the experience of Castro and is still polling 4th in this race. How? Why?

Any Klobachur is as dry as 3 cans peanuts buried in the desert and is still in the race with more money than Castro.

How? Why?

Castro was the ONLY candidate I ever heard reference police violence as gun violence in the primary.

He was the only candidate putting forth plans to address the policy brutality against Black and Brown people.

Also, he was pushing for electoral justice. He called out the hypocrisy of the primary schedule.

He held a townhall in IOWA to tell IOWA residents they shouldn’t vote first because they don’t represent the diversity of the Dem base.

How is he gone but Biden is polling 1st?

There is so much more. You ran a great campaign @JulianCastro
