I took Twitter and Instagram apps off my phone since the election and will now only check these via desktop when I have some free time. Best thing I ever did for my health and focus. Love your fam and friends tight.
Proud of you @EarnestSweat ! 81% of VC firms don't have a single black investor — BLCK VC wants to change that https://t.co/nHl1pF0ato via @techcrunch
Iβm going to keep saying this over and over.
Tonight is just the beginning.
One election was never going to do it.
Letβs celebrate our wins, understand our losses
and keep fighting.
@Christiana1987 Donβt disagree on media, but that seems like the norm, Obama was discounted too until he won Iowa and he wasnβt even that progressive π letβs see what happens, would love a surprise candidate, but I have really enjoyed Betos spirit.
@Christiana1987 Rashida received strong media coverage as well - base hoped she would make history. Ocasio is the youngest elected, and has the IT quality. Totally open to someone coming out of nowwhere, just saying as of now Beto/Gillum/Ocasio have the hearts.
Man. The Dem Twitter mourning over Beto, Gillum, and Abrams -- people who always running in difficult, uphill races -- seems to be sucking up a lot of room re: pretty good results elsewhere.
@Christiana1987 I Havenβt seen any other progressive Dem candidates galvanize the base across socio/racial lines with the exception of Ocasio π€·π½ββοΈ I would hate to lose sight of that and just assume no one is a match π
Gillum was a welcome reprieve as a Black candidate. Very firm and very direct, calling shit out instead of hiding behind pleasantries & platitudes. I needed to see that.
@Christiana1987 Betoβs platform is considered ultra progressive though, I think he could probably satisfy that nationally. While Gillum would add a moderate balance.
Hmmm this polling obsession is taking away from the most impactful issue on the ground - voter suppression. Can we start focusing on that instead? @cnn
