So tell me, Shadow - what have you been doing to develop candidates in your community? How have you engaged in the primary season? What's your long term strategy to get candidates you would support with the combination of experience, name recognition and community respect?
That is what's needed to ensure a politician understands the community needs, and the community values and respects the person they have supported throughout the long campaign process.
That's one of the reasons I respect #AOC - she went out and earned the communities support in the primary season.
Withholding support in a situation where the absolutely worst option might win - well, have you heard "cutting of your nose to spite your face"? Only it's worse, because you are consciously making a choice that will make things worse for so many vulnerable people.
Mehdi Hasan to AOC - "What do you say to a young progressive or an Arab-American who says to you, 'I just can't vote for Biden again after what he's enabled in Gaza.'?
A vote for Robert Kennedy is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Cornel West is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump.
Not voting is a vote for Trump.
