Here’s what the major/legacy press are burying with wall-to-wall coverage of the massive billionaire-fuelled push to remove Biden:

Yes, there is some real support from Democrats for removing Biden. It wouldn’t be getting anywhere without the major donor and press frenzy, but some of it’s real. And I absolutely will back whoever comes out of this nonsense, as must we all.

No matter how mad we may and may not be about it. Am I clear on that? No matter how mad.

Because this Republican nightmare is what the press aren’t covering -it’s not even all of it, just some important highlights – all while instead going wall-to-wall 24-by-seven on this nomination fiasco.

Keep plugging away, team. It’s up to us to make up that gap.

And always remember – we win this, if we do the work. We win this, if we fight.

106 days remain.

I have no idea what’s about to happen now – and neither does anybody else, keep that in mind. But I do know a few things:

  1. White people: I know that a LOT of adult and older Black people are going to be INCENSED about this, and it’ll be because of Kamala. This is because the Black people I talk to in this cohort say so, it’s not a hypothetical. They see this as being BECAUSE of WHITE REJECTION of KAMALA HARRIS. In short, that it is racist as fuck.

LISTEN to them, ACKNOWLEDGE their view, be fucking RESPECTFUL and take their opinions seriously because I do think it’s one of the reasons.

As I’m writing this, Biden endorsed Harris. You want to fix item one? WHITE PEOPLE, GET HER THE NOMINATION. FUCKING DO IT. SHUT UP, AND DO IT.

  1. White people who didn’t want this: do what way too many Bernie people did not do, and GET OVER IT NOW. It’s done. None of us can afford to carry any grudges.
  2. Bernie people: I have talked with so many Bernie people still carrying grudges, so same goes to you: GET OVER IT NOW. It’s DONE.
  3. Everybody: Many of you will get someone you don’t want. I don’t care, I’ve never got someone I actually want, and you can’t afford to care either. The Democrats have just thrown away more advantages than you know and the work gets harder now, not easier.

Work your asses off to get whoever comes out of this elected, no matter what.

Goddamn, we really, really do not have room for any more self-inflicted wounds. Got that?

I hate the phrase “vote blue no matter who” but I got some fucken news: Vote blue, no matter who.

This time, it really, really, really matters.

BIDEN HATERS LISTEN UP

You can take this as a win. Good job. You needed the help of the donor class – they’re the ones who really made it happen – but it only worked because there was actual demand.

Now here’s the flip side:

If you want it to matter, you gotta go with whoever comes next.

We can win this if Millennials and Zoomers seize the moment, and I hope they fuckin’ do. But everybody has to step up right now because part of taking a win in this kind of situation is going with what comes out of it.

If you turn on Harris with the same shit you did to Biden, you will be throwing away your victory. It will mean nothing.

A few of you already are for all the predictable reasons, and it WILL be seen as racist and/or misogynist backlash and they WILL be at least partly correct.

You got a win. Don’t blow it. If you want it to mean something, if you want it to endure, you gotta follow through.

Harris 2024. Everybody. All in. Right now.
