Most #NeverBiden people I see are POC or survivors of sexual assault. To my fellow white folk, please recognize the privilege that allows you to overlook Biden’s past of racism, ageism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, & aporophobia in order to vote for the "better" of two evils.
All conversations with #NeverBiden people should be held with respect, or honestly, not held at all. It is not the place of white folks to tell most of the #NeverBiden folks what they “should” do or not do with their vote, especially using a “for the good of others” argument.
When I was canvassing for Bernie, many of the communities I walked through were low income + predominately black. I explained Bernie's positions relating to the issues they said affect them and their families the most, and I told them that I think he's the best candidate.
However, I never told people what they "should" do with their votes because that was not my place. These families had to work harder for longer to secure their votes, and in many cases are still fighting for that right (and it is a right). It would do good to remember that.
