Going to be VERY interesting to see who goes to NV, who goes to SC, and who goes to ST states between NH and NV. You’re kind of handcuffed to go to NH after IA given the short runway and #FITN etc. but there’s some more flexibility for the rest of the month.
Before we suspended the campaign, we had some very fun strategy and scheduling meetings about this very topic!
IIRC, our initial plan was to hit SC/ST states over Presidents’ Day weekend then land in NV by Tuesday. The logistics of getting x-country played a big role — once you get to NV, you kind of want to stay relatively west.

I’ve gotten a lot of inquiries over the last couple weeks about why the Biden campaign is doing something in X state and not Y, or entreaties for the campaign to invest in Z place (usually TX). I have no control or input on any of it, but it inspired a quick thread: 1/?
I’ll start with this: there are a LOT of good non-presidential-electoral reasons to invest in places: Senate/House races, state leg chamber flips, party building, etc. In no way is this thread minimizing that, and BFP is doing a LOT to support others, financially and otherwise.
HOWEVER, the *purpose* of the existence of Biden for President campaign is to win the presidential election. Which means to win enough states to produce 270 electoral votes.

He is clearly in over his head.
He cannot meet this moment.
He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us.

On my birthday, set a goal of running sub-10min/mi pace for a 10k and two months later... ImageImage

Because I’ve been a relatively large black man for many decades now, I can forget how psychologically exhausting it is to live with a constant awareness of the perceived threat that is your existence. It becomes second nature, repressed even. It just is. It’s hard to explain.
Anyways, I can’t tell if weeks - months - like this…when people who don’t look like you awaken to your everyday reality…are good…or if bringing those feelings to the front of mind are actually bad for me, personally. This thread doesn’t have a point. Just thinking out loud.
The lump I get in my throat any time I see a police officer, or am walking down a relatively empty street and see a white person approaching me -- knowing they are scared, wondering what will happen — it’s easier just to not think about it. I know that’s selfish but man.

In the interest of public accountability, @jehabig and I committed to run/walking 100km (about 62mi) in May. We’re at 16 after 7 days so...a ways to go.
More than doubled in 5 days. Literally nothing motivates me more than a (sometimes arbitrary and meaningless) numerical goal. Image
Almost caught up! Image

Keeping it 💯: it’s completely explainable that we are down to two white men to become our nominee. Democratic primary voters’ top priority is beating Donald Trump and, mostly subconsciously, I believe the gruesome reality of Trump’s America has put a fear in our hearts...
...about the effectiveness of the racist, sexist campaign he would have run against a woman or a person of color. It’s politically misguided and deeply unfortunate, given the two nominees who received the most votes in American history are a woman and a person of color...
...this is not to diminish the efforts of the Sanders and Biden campaigns or the structural advantages they brought to the table (which were tied up in race and gender, but I don’t want to lose the thread here). It’s also not to say any of this is okay...
