I love Marianne Williamson. But the Biden simping is reeking of privilege. Which is incredibly surprising considering how good she is on issues like reparations. She’s purposely getting this wrong because a binary choice is more easier to process here than a principled one.

And as far as “reeking of privilege” goes, this is clear to me: if Trump is re-elected, I think it’s unlikely that I will be rounded up and thrown in jail - and precisely for that reason. It is in fact those far less privileged than me that I’m worried about.

That’s one side of the privilege coin. Because if Biden is president, there is no guarantee at all I won’t be rounded up and thrown in jail as he wants to give police departments, which are effectively security guards of fascism, 300 million more and no accountability.

I’ve personally felt effects of the 94 crime bill. A bill that Biden won’t even apologize for, knowing what it’s done. There’s open market slavery in Libya because of his administration. His admin created the cages kids are being put in. I will not vote for my own demise.

I understand. Everybody’s going to have to vote their own heart’s truth.

Btw, I have an immense amount of respect for you. My disagreements with you basically stop at Biden and some foreign policy. But I’ve never questioned where your heart is. So pls don’t take it personal. But as a journalist and a black man, I can’t let ANY fascism go unchecked.
