He’s not going to win. I don’t think people really understand how divided we are right now. [Sighs.]  It’s just at this point, I think I’m really depressed and very frustrated by this moment because it seems to me that the wealthy, the elite, the corporate interests are all unified on one front. And when it comes to the oppressed, when it comes to poor people, everybody’s just don’t got nothing to say. Nobody really wants to take a stand. And so what we’re seeing right now is that I am exhibiting and I am trying to stay in the fight and I’m trying to continue every day to keep hope when we continually see the establishment steal from the people, steal the people’s voice, steal the people’s well being, steal the people’s sense of self and identity in this country. I mean, it’s just, it’s discouraging.
And I think Biden is an example of a time that I don’t want to return to, you know. I want our future generation to be able to look back and say, “Wow, they really fought for us, and they made sure that we had the basic human decency in this country.” And Biden’s not concerned with that. He doesn’t want people to have universal health care. He doesn’t care about the fact that the criminal legal system has demonized young black and brown people on the streets, and enabled and empowered the deaths of black people at the hands of the police. I’m not trying to fight for Biden right now. And I’m not trying to fight for Trump at all in any way, shape, or form. But a vote for Biden is a vote for Trump in my eyes right now.
