Someday, perhaps Democrats will catch on to something I've known for my entire adult life:
DEMOCRATS WIN WHEN WE VOTE LIKE BLACK WOMEN.
Black women have overwhelmingly supported the Democratic Party throughout their all-too-brief voting history.
Black women have shown up for white male Democratic candidates and candidates of color alike.
Black women fully understand what's at stake when it comes to our basic human rights, and that's why 1400 Black women leaders and their allies have sent a call to action to the rest of the Democratic Party.
And that call is to get right with yourselves and put your back into backing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Signed by powerful and notable names such as Carol Moseley Braun, the first African American woman elected to the senate; Keisha Lance Bottoms, former senior adviser to Joe Biden and the former mayor of Atlanta; and Melanie Campbell, president and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and convener of the Black Women’s Roundtable.
The letter highlights the fact that millions of Americans cast ballots for Biden and Harris in the primary and goes on to blast the attempts to change the ticket, saying the suggestions to replace Biden “disregard” and “circumvent the will of millions of voters who participated in a democratic process.
“The suggestion that any candidate who won their primary should simply step aside because victory appears difficult at the moment is disrespectful to the voters, unjust and undemocratic,” the letter continues.
The letter goes on to defy the narrative being pushed by the MSM being funneled through a lot of white men in both Congress AND Hollywood.
“The Biden-Harris Administration is running on a solid record of historic legislative accomplishments and a commitment to finish their agenda to improve the lives of all Americans, protect our rights, freedoms, and democracy,” the letter states.
“Further, we believe it is unfair and disruptive to judge President Biden for having a bad 90-minute debate performance against a serial liar who wants to destroy our democracy and be a dictator-in-chief."
