This. 👇 We Dems are doing exactly what the GOP did in 2016 & look where that got them.
Now, we have the benefit of hindsight. We need to unite behind a single candidate who can win the purple/red districts & carry the African American/ Latino/working class/suburban mom votes.

It won't do us any good to win the presidency yet lose the House & fail to flip the Senate bc we all know now what a d*ck McConnell is.
He does the Koch's bidding.
We can't risk 4+ yrs of Trump, the statehouses, & judicial appts that will haunt us for the next 40 yrs. 👻

I like Bernie, Warren, Pete, & Amy. I admire Bloomberg's work w/Moms Demand & Everytown but I truly believe that only @JoeBiden can turn out the Obama coalition + the 'Never-Trumpers' who helped us retake the House in 2016.
In the 41 seats we flipped, Biden helped w/all of them.

@JoeBiden Each of our candidates have flaws bc there's no such thing as a perfect candidate.
However, the way we flipped the House was by running moderates in red & purple districts.
What works in NY or Ca doesn't work in the South or the MidWest. We need someone who can win across the US

@JoeBiden In 2018, we handed the GOP their worst loss in over 60 yrs! 🙌
The way we did it was by turning out suburban Moms who historically vote GOP.
Of the 41 seats we won, only @JoeBiden was asked to stump for them.
It's going to be a heavy lift to get Trump out. We need Never-Trumpers,

@JoeBiden *2018*

@JoeBiden We need liberals/progressives, moderates, suburban moms, & Never-Trumpers to defeat the monster in the WH.
We owe it to those babies in cages & those whose healthcare would be endangered.
Even if Biden isn't your 1st choice, even if you must 'hold your nose', we must coalesce.

@JoeBiden I believe in @JoeBiden & his ability to not just win the presidency but to keep the House & flip the Senate- kicking McConnell to the curb!
We will all turn out in 2020 no matter who's our nominee but unless we have the 'Never-Trumpers' we will LOSE the House & Senate.
🔥

@JoeBiden Look what we did in Alabama w/ @DougJones: something we only accomplished by turning out the Obama coalition + 'Never-Trumper' suburban moms.
It won't do any good to win the Presidency yet lose Congress bc then, no one's policies will be enacted!!!
Remember Merrick Garland?

@JoeBiden @DougJones If we don't keep the House & flip the Senate, we lose. Period.
I like most of Bernie's ideas but some of the coalition we must keep to win Congress will never vote for him.
I love Warren also but she hasn't won delegates needed.
The name of the game is the Electoral College.

@JoeBiden @DougJones Only @JoeBiden has the clearest path to an Electoral College victory.
I'm sorry this is the case but Cuban-Americans in Fla. will never vote for Sen. Sanders bc of his comments about Castro.
We need Fla.!
We need the 'RustBelt'.
I believe only @JoeBiden can turnout those votes.

@JoeBiden @DougJones If VP Biden doesn't win, I will work as hard as I can to elect Sanders, etc. But I believe that will be a sisyphean task. Yes, Sanders can win the presidency but w/him as our nominee, we will lose the House & the Senate: ensuring McConnell's Maj. Ldr & will filibuster everything

@JoeBiden @DougJones McConnell & Trump have already announced their intention to cut SS, Medicare, & Medicaid.
Trump's already in the Courts trying to gut the #ACA.
As someone who is disabled, reliant on #Medicaid, #SNAP, & whose 78-year-old Mom relies on #SS,
I can't risk 4+ yrs of the GOP.

@JoeBiden @DougJones Those precious babes in cages can't risk 4 more yrs of Trump.
African-Americans can't risk 4 more yrs of the GOP, emboldened to handcuff a 6 yr old girl, to make traffic stops & shoot at will our brothers & sisters.
@JoeBiden is a decent & compassionate man.
He will stop this!!

@JoeBiden @DougJones The other candidates are splitting the vote, enabling Sen. Sanders to win the delegates w/only 30% of the vote. If he wins only a plurality of delegates rather than a MAJOrITY, he will limp into the convention.
Understand: as I said, I like Sanders but we must win Congress.

@JoeBiden @DougJones If we win the Presidency but lose the House & fail to flip the Senate-or even lose existing seats in the Senate, what have we actually won?
You know as well as I do that McConnell will do everything in his power to stifle Sanders' policies.
We can't risk that. 😭

@JoeBiden @DougJones Please think of this while considering your choice of candidates.
I'm not here to attack anyone bc of their choice. I'll pitch in-sleeves up to elect whomever wins.
I am just terrified bc of my #Medicaid, my mom's #SS, & everyone else who is reliant on our social safety net.

@JoeBiden @DougJones Bc of gerrymandering, the GOP's purging of our voter rolls (esp. in our black communities), it's going to be a heavy lift to defeat Trump & repudiate all of his attacks on our IC, FBI, NATO, our Military, & especially our brothers & sisters of color.
We need the 'Never-Trumpers'!

@JoeBiden @DougJones It may be an unpleasant fact but it is a fact: we need suburban moms who were former Republicans, the 'Never-Trumpers', & Obama's coalition to win the House, the Senate, & the Presidency.
I believe @JoeBiden is our only candidate who can do it.
#GiveEmHellJoe! 👊 💪 #YesWeCan

@JoeBiden @DougJones @threadreaderapp please unroll. 💘 Julie
