Listen, I don’t want to jump to conclusions here, but calling people who don’t think Biden should be replaced as the nominee the #BHive feels like a backdoor misogynoir somehow and I hate it.
Eh, I had dozens of comments from my own readers telling me to shut my mouth this morning, that I'm hysterical, that I'm not going to like it when I'm executed, because I said I don't think we (Biden) can win.
You’re a journalist right? You have an important voice that spreads right? All of your anxieties are on display to us normies fyi, and it scares the shit out of us.
Not Biden.
I am anxious, yes. I'm certainly not dispassionately observing.
But I think I'm laying out the case as I see it, not just running around with my hair on fire.
Lot of shooting the messenger going on because (some) people are finally saying yeah actually this does look bad.
Right. How do you think Michigan will do with Kamala? I want you to be honest. You are Midwestern, and if you’re around normies there, you should ask them how they feel about her. This isn’t about me, I like her

I think Kamala would do a HELL of a lot better than Joe is right now in Detroit.
I don't think the youngs are coming out for Joe. Excitement for Kamala, and she's not tainted by his backing of Netanyahu? I think she's the only hope.
Wore my (bright blue, you couldn't miss me) Biden Harris t-shirt out yesterday. In five hours spoke to at least two dozen people and saw/was seen by 200 more.
Exactly three people gave me a "Nice shirt." Everyone else politely ignored it.
In Detroit.
Three out of 200 people seems pretty normal! Most people don’t comment on shirts!
What I think or what you think doesn’t matter. What does matter is the people who already voted Biden, and it’s concerning y’all are so willing to throw those people away
I don't think it's throwing those people away though. Every one of us voted Biden-*Harris*.
Open convention? Yeah, THAT's throwing them away. And every Black woman in the country.
