Just recently, Trump botched his COVID-19 response, unleashed military on peaceful protestors, & went full-blown white supremacist against BLM.

If you still think Biden is the “lesser of two evils” or there is any equivalence between them you have not been paying any attention.
If you want to push Biden to take certain positions, that's fine. Keep pushing. But claiming they "both suck" is either a bad faith voter suppression effort or coming from a place of genuine ignorance.

I’m not trying to be condescending, that’s just the objective reality.
One of these men is a straight-up unhinged authoritarian racist who has proven that all he cares about is himself.

He has literally said that he wants to slow testing so numbers look better for him.

Biden is a good man. Recognize an ally when you see one and oppose the fascist.
There are existential issues at stake that 4 more years of Trump will make even worse.

Trump called climate change a hoax, just like he called coronavirus fears. Look where that got us...

Trump is on the wrong side of every single issue from systemic racism to gun reform, etc.
The choice between Biden and Trump could not be clearer.

There is far too much at stake for games. Luckily the polling indicates most Americans get this.

Just be skeptical of anyone who utters the words "lesser of two evils." They either have ulterior motives or are uninformed.

For the last time, taking down Confederate monuments is not about "erasing history" or "America's heritage."

It's about choosing what parts of our history we celebrate. To honor racists who became traitors to the United States to try and keep black people enslaved is disgusting.
The Confederacy lost. They were traitors and they lost to the Union.

We should not honor them. They represent the worst of us. Take them down and replace them with iconic Black Americans who have always been the ones to force this country to live up to their stated ideals.
Although taking down Confederate monuments is symbolic, it's important.

These monuments are the visual representation of the fact the Confederacy never truly died. It was kept alive via botched Reconstruction, Jim Crow laws, etc. Let's tear them down and finally reconstruct.

Protesting was once our only tool. Black people couldn’t vote.

We can now.

It’s time for long-game thinking. Mobilize the vote. Plan to run for local, state, & federal office yourself.

#riots2020 got you heard, but real change comes from a majority of seats at the power table.
Yes, the @GOP wages a vast voter suppression operation against us.

But if ALL mobilized, and our allies mobilized, and tens of millions of people don’t sit out the election, we could overpower voter suppression & address that problem from the inside too.

Change is long and hard. I’m not talking one election, I’m talking decades here.

But we need to buckle in and prepare to reshape policymaking at every level. Police accountability reforms, stronger civil rights protections, etc.

We can’t do any of that from the outside.

Biden's #YouAintBlack comments weren't great but I won't play the GOP's false equivalency game.

Everyone knows there’s no comparison between Trump & Biden when it comes to racism, but GOP will try and equate them to depress black turnout. Just like they did with Clinton.
Trump just praised well-known eugenist and anti-Semite Ford as having “good bloodlines."

He’s called black NFL players sons of bitches, called African countries shitholes, still won’t admit the exonerated 5 are innocent, and called neo-Nazis very fine people.

No comparison.
Obviously Biden was not the right messenger for this but @Toure is really spot on here.

Black people like @SenatorTimScott, @RealCandaceO, and @kanyewest who support Trump do not care about the black community, otherwise, they wouldn't support a white supremacist administration.
