The people who lecture me on the importance of everyone rallying behind Joe Biden even in the primary tend to be those who: Have adequate health care, can afford to send their kids to college, can live on just one job, make more than $15/hr, aren't afraid their kids might get shot at a traffic stop, aren't rationing their insulin, can afford child care, and probably watch a lot of MSNBC. Most importantly, they do not make up numbers big enough to win in 2024.

You think Biden does not know all that? And has not tried to get all those things through while Republicans block every step of the way? I think we are all on the same team here.

Pledge to endorse Cornel West when the DNC sheds themselves of you. That should be easy.

My top 3 concerns as a working class person are affordable healthcare, affordable housing, and affordable groceries. I am not able to afford all 3. I have to pick and choose. Do I want shelter this month or food? For a living, I'm a delivery driver and I have to pass a DOT medical exam in order to do my job. Recently, I failed my exam because my blood pressure was too high. So I had to go to a doctor without insurance. I am now paying a $10/month payment plan on medical bills that cost me around $400 per appointment to treat my high blood pressure otherwise I can no longer legally keep my job. My medical debt in the last 3 months has grown to over $3000.

Seems like those are the issues that Biden is trying to fix. Offer to help him by giving your input.

I’ve always loved you Marianne but that is simply not true. So many of us see the need to save our Democracy this year. You need to step down. I enjoyed your voice helping to shift the energy in the last election. I am grateful for it but this time you are a distraction.

What about the people who tell you to rally around the only actual leftist with a chance of winding up on the ballot, Cornel West?

The U.S. has sent more money to Ukraine in one year than it spent in 12 years in Afghanistan. @POTUS 🤬
