Listen pundits and Dem influencers. Your willingness to continue beating this horse is becoming…weird. Ask yourself why most prominent Black leaders & ordinary Black ppl are for #Biden staying in. We love Kamala, so what could be the reason? Maybe we see America through a different lens. One that allows us to see things that you don’t. Your apparent dismissal of that possibility is very revealing. And not in a good way.

@GottaLaff My hunch on why the media won't quit their attempts to bash the unbashable Biden -- the Russiapublicans have got SOLID polling (not that manufactured crap that runs on CNN & in the NYT) showing tRUmp can't possibly win, so the media oligarchs, knowing this election could be the death knell for the GOP (electorate getting browner & younger & more foreign-born & more liberal), are pulling out all the stops to try & chill the race. Won't work, tho, because no one reads/listens to them.

@GottaLaff The media has underestimated Joe Biden his entire career. They know they can't beat him, so all that's left is trying to depress support for him, but NO ONE forgets how awful it was waking up every damn day with that orange hate-clown in the White House. We ain't going back to that, no matter how much the media tries to spin things. PS, hope you & the fam are enjoying Canada!

@sirc Agree, but it’s worse than that. Dems aren’t helping Dems. https://www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar/post/C9PrQaWA75D

Nancy Pelosi on Morning Joe didn't exactly express enthusiasm about Biden staying in the race: "It's up for the president to decide if he's going to run. We're all encouraging him to make that decision because time is running short ... I want him to do whatever he decides to do."
