1/I agree with AOC in that Democrats need long term strategic planning, but Bernie Sanders was not thinking long term when he tried to destroy Clinton's reputation in 2016. What's happened since then? Families detained in cages at the border, a rapist was confirmed to SCOTUS...
2/Trump pledged to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Climate agreement in 2020, gave tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, appointed a record number of extremist Right Wing Federal Judges. Voter suppression & disinformation got us here but so did "purity" hypocritical politicking. 
3/BTW, AOC has made a lot of young people pay attention to politics and that's critical, but as a legislator she hasn't been that successful. None of the bills she sponsored (not co-sponsored, everyone co-sponsors a ton of bills) made it out of the House on to McConnell's desk.
4/Lauren Underwood, on the other hand, has not only had bills pass through the House, but they've been signed into law! That's massive! Why has Lauren Underwood only received a fraction of the press AOC gets? (I think most of us know why). nwherald.com/2019/12/23/rep…
5/There's so much hypocrisy inherent in Sanders' campaign, in Warren's, in Buttigieg's, in Biden's! Everyone wants the perfect POTUS candidate, but guess what? Doesn't exist, because they're humans, and humans are flawed, but I'm tired of hearing that Sanders is a hero, he's not.
6/Sanders doesn't (& hasn't ever) run an intersectional campaign. He still says it's about "class" not "race." He still doesn't fully comprehend that racism/sexism is baked into the very foundation in this country and that financial equity alone wouldn't rid our country of that.
7/I like what Warren is doing with disability policy and the fact that so many of my friends in the disability community have praised her plan is something to consider when looking at candidates, but my Native friends are still really bothered by her, & that gives me great pause.
8/I have my own reason why I'm frustrated with
Warren and why is my gut saying "NO."? I have to examine it but my gut is usually right. Also, Buttigieg - GTFO. His campaign has been problematic from the get. He's polling at 0% with Black voters (listen to us about him).

9/Which leaves me with Biden. Joe "you were a dick to Anita Hill" f*cking Biden. I'm pissed at the disinformation that pulled Kamala out of the election. She was the one. Why am I looking at Biden? Because he's the most qualified to clean up Trump's mess and help down-ballot.
10/"But Maya, what about...."? What about what muthafuckas? Y'all should've elected Hillary. Would we be at war with Iran? NO. Would we have children in cages at the border? NO. Would Kavanaugh & Gorsuch be on SCOTUS? NO. But no, some of y'all only though about you.
