THREAD — GOOD NEWS FOR #BERNIE VOTERS

Friends, #Biden had a strong #SuperTuesday. Voters spoke, and he has support across the country. No reason to deny it.

But if we set aside the horse race and the pundits' expectations game, there is good reason to be hopeful for #NotMeUs...

By definition, being anti-establishment means confronting a dominant, self-perpetuating system that control the levers of power.

I.e., as a #Bernie voter, you're automatically the underdog. Your power is through solidarity with the people.

Amazingly, a new day dawns with #Bernie one of only two viable Dem candidates out of a massive field.

#Biden is once again the frontrunner, and the entire establishment rapidly coalesced around him to stop a progressive revolution.

But...

Consider the massive impact #NotMeUs has had — and will have — on American politics.

YOU have fought a system that cages children, that bankrupts sick people to enrich oligarchs, that funds forever wars while homeless people die in our streets.

Sadly, the system that has committed grave moral transgressions is upheld not just by GOP extremists and the corporate media, but by the Democratic leadership. From going along with Bush's war crimes to passing Trump's signature legislation...

I don't know who ends up winning the Dem nomination. I hope it's #Bernie because I believe we need a political revolution. But it may well be that the establishment prevails again.

No matter what, don't underestimate the power you've amassed.

GOOD NEWS FOR #BERNIE VOTERS (7)

#NotMeUs is a force for good, built with the hands of working people across America.

You are strong. You are principled. You are the conscience of the party and the country.

THAT MATTERS.

SO MUCH.

In solidarity. ✊🏽✊🏽
