The first millennial to run for president should have reflected the overwhelming millennial desire for climate transformation and justice.

Instead, @PeteButtigieg and his campaign has chosen to use and abuse Iowa POC voters like a cheat code in a video game.

@PeteButtigieg Iowan people of color worked hard to show up against all obstacles. They overwhelmingly chose @BernieSanders more than any other candidate, by far.

Instead of improving for New Hampshire, @PeteButtigieg knocked on the Democrats door to demand minimizing POC votes.

@PeteButtigieg @BernieSanders When confronted by Black voters moved by tragic personal experiences to question @PeteButtigieg's policies, Mayor Pete looked them in the eye and told them he doesn't want their vote.

So they didn't give it to him. And now he wants them erased.

@PeteButtigieg @BernieSanders Rather than build a genuine base of Black support, @PeteButtigieg gamed Black leaders - using junk mail predatory tactics to advertise endorsements from Black voters he did not get consent for, and fraudulently communicated he had

Now he wants to erase Black and Brown votes

@PeteButtigieg @BernieSanders In the time @PeteButtigieg invested in courting 40 white billionaire funders, he could have examined why every day Black and Brown Americans look at his campaign and turn the other way. Starting with his own home town. Starting well before his presidential run.

@PeteButtigieg @BernieSanders In the time @PeteButtigieg invested in keeping 1% donor meetings secret, hiding them from even his own supporters, he could have heard people asking why his senior advisor rubs shoulders with her friend, a white supremacist and Trump goon.

6/

@PeteButtigieg @BernieSanders In the time @PeteButtigieg was ignoring Black and Brown voters, he could have answered questions as to why his climate advisor receives millions of dollars from fossil fuel billionaires to sue young climate activists into silence.

Climate is a front line POC issue.

@PeteButtigieg @BernieSanders After all this, the most dangerous thing about @PeteButtigieg gaming #IowaCaucusResults?

Pete's campaign is innovating new ways for Trump to copy and scale up voter POC disenfranchisement - which is the only way both Pete, and Trump can win.

POC spoke. Bernie won. Move on.
