I'm taking a break. The doom scrolling is wearing me down. It's not fun seeing people who should know better advocate for political strategies that create double standards that help Republicans and diminishes the only place where Black people have any real institutional power.

@letat_lechat @TerryWatkinsJr1 And they’re really bad at it.

@BriannaWu And Bernie’s cult amplifying the conspiracy theories he used to delegitimize her candidacy to portray themselves as victims.

[Mark "Get Your Damn Shots" Hershberger @mlhershb]

@BriannaWu I hear a different memory. It was the death of 1000 cuts of people who really should have known better legitimizing and amplifying every single unflattering story, regardless as to the veracity, and Bernie running well past the point he could have won.

@admiralmpj And media and Republicans will only smell blood in the water if Biden steps aside and pounce, because it’s a position of weakness the step aside after a bad night when your opponent is a lying sleazy sociopath who can’t manage a coherent sentence.

@BLTruesdell @cbouzy I’m not gonna talk about people who have already passed away. I don’t get the fixation on Pelosi. She stepped down from leadership and is phasing out her career. And it was after being an incredibly productive House Speaker who helped deliver a lot of important wins.

@BLTruesdell @travoloso @cbouzy Turning Point USA is training college kids to support fascism. And besides, the youth vote has always been incredibly unreliable.

@mai_komagata @cbouzy Harris has been out there doing a lot of very visible work, but media have made choices to obscure her completely and repeatedly.

[Mark "Get Your Damn Shots" Hershberger @mlhershb]

@marisolxoxo2 @magi_jay Like, I get the meltdowns to some extent, but so much of it seems like it’s just chasing clout and an excuse to disregard the will of Black voters without openly admitting to it.

[Mark "Get Your Damn Shots" Hershberger @mlhershb]

@RockyLotito @What46HasDone Still rocking with that canard?

[Mark "Get Your Damn Shots" Hershberger @mlhershb]

@Lynn_Henning @JamesSurowiecki The nominee has to do a lot of work to unite the party well ahead of the general election. Dismissing the will of the base completely while attempting to install an untested candidate is not how to do that. You’re just parroting conventional wisdom and calling it insight.

[Mark "Get Your Damn Shots" Hershberger @mlhershb]

@VABVOX Like, I got the frustration and the panic to some extent, but the narrative is always geared to benefit incompetent and sleazy Republicans who don’t believe in a multi ethnic liberal democracy.

[Mark "Get Your Damn Shots" Hershberger @mlhershb]

@Lynn_Henning @JamesSurowiecki Yeah, because being a spoiler and splintering the party ahead of an important election totally makes sense. None of those people are tested nationally, and still would’ve had a lot of work to do to win over the base.
