🧵I'll make this plain, Democrats.
Listening to the likes of:
-James Carville
-Rahm Emmanuel
-Bernie Sanders
-Bill Maher
-David Axlerod
will DESTROY the party.

Your base SEES you as backstabbers & betrayers. I WARNED you IN JULY after stabbing your own POTUS in the back.

1/9
Black women feel betrayed by you.

They KNOW you didn't REALLY want Kamala Harris as your nominee. They saw the names you bandied about & the way you said she wouldn't be "coronated."

They see how you've TURNED on her NOW. They also know you painted yourself in a corner.

2/9
Because you let the Clooneys, Pod Bros, MSNBC hosts & consultants make you panic.

So you betrayed your OWN successful POTUS- but you had NO parachute. You had NO Plan B.

If you hold ANOTHER primary- you RIP your party apart-so you put your VP in an untenable situation.

3/9
If she wins- FINE. If she LOSES, you get the party back the way you ALWAYS wanted: With white consultants holding ALL the power and the marginalized relegated below... where they belong.

But it's not working out that way is it? Black people aren't despairing. We're done.

4/9
The folk you refused to nuke the filibuster for-your most loyal voting bloc- aren't writing checks or crying.

Nah, we see an America that would rather burn itself to the GROUND than cede white supremacy. So be it!

It's not just MAGA either. It's Bernie. It's Carville.

5/9
As I said in July, we saw you stab BIDEN in the back, we KNOW what you'd do TO US.

Go ahead with these arguments against "identity politics" like that's what VP Harris ran on.

Like it's NOT what MAGA is about in its ENTIRETY.

Keep cutting off your nose to spite your face.

6/9
At the end of the day, you know what WE know: Who your most loyal voting bloc IS and has been since 1964.

Let these consultants convince you the party of 1992 still exists.
It doesn't.

You're going to have to name a thing a thing. You want the answers? Here it is:

7/9
Figure out HOW to make racism & sexism LESS attractive.

Trump just MIGHT do it, but a LOT of people are going to get hurt in the process.

You're gonna have to TEACH an ignorant public how NOT to self-harm. What SHOULD have been done after the Civil War is now imperative.

8/9
Arrogance and cowardice have already caused you to cede this nation to fascism.

The only advantage you have now is IT'S COMING. The GOP is going to DESTROY this country.

If you want to survive to pick up the pieces, I'd suggest SHORING UP your loyal bloc, not ignoring it.

9/9

Quick 🧵for all Dems trying to sink Biden right now.

You may think you look thoughtful & deliberate.
No.
You look weak.
You look cowardly.
You look feckless and unsure of your platform and standard bearer.

News Flash: The American voter isn't well educated on issues. (1)
American voters respond to strength, unity and emotional appeal.

Donald Trump is a raging fool.
He's stupid beyond measure, a serial liar & a felon who is responsible for the negligent homicide of THOUSANDS with his downplaying of COVID... but HIS cult is loyal to him. (2)
Say what you will about Republicans: their fascism, Project 2025 & racism being their raison d'etre.

Yet, one thing they understand: Politics is a ZERO-sum game.

I don't pretend to understand them- or even how you can be "independent" between democracy & fascism. (3)

🧵So all of you people who are a "hard no on Biden" need to understand that means you're OK with:

-Trump, his racism, stupidity & chaos
-Voter Suppression
-A nationwide abortion ban
-NO shot at college debt reduction
-The end of marriage equality
-More tax cuts for the rich
..
- unfettered hostile foreign power access to U.S. security
-someone who wanted to nuke a hurricane in charge of the nuclear stockpile
- ANOTHER botched public health response killing EVEN MORE people
-Another botched disaster response like Puerto Rico
-MORE election tampering
..
-re-electing someone facing 91 RICO charges
-a U.S. President bowing to North Korea
-More emolument violations enriching a con-man with tax payer dollars
-MORE LIFETIME appointed right wing federal judges taking away hard-won rights
...

Thread. With less than 11 hours to go, it's difficult to quantify just how badly the worst U.S. President of my lifetime caused this nation to fall.

Gone is the illusion of rock solid American Democracy. Gone is the notion of American jurisprudence & no one being above the law.
Only slavery prevents Donald Trump from being definitively the worst President in U.S. history- but the argument can still be made.

Treason, extortion, obstruction, insurrection, negligent homicide: All valid charges against this President- but he wasn't alone.
No, Trump had plenty of help: Foreign interference, A 24/7 propaganda network dumbing down the population, a complicit Republican party - but MOST of all- America's #1 weakness since its inception: Racism.

Stop letting his voters off the hook. Yes, I mean 74 Million of them.
