When @BernieSanders speaks out against racism, income inequality, worker's rights, housing accessibility and affordability, criminal justice reform, the environment, etc. GUESS WHAT? I believe him. The man fights for those things AS A HOBBY - it's his life's work.

When @CoryBooker comes out and says he wants to decriminalize marijuana and make sweeping criminal justice reforms central to his campaign.... GUESS WHAT? I believe him. He knows those issues and has proposed courageous legislation on them. He'll fight for that win or lose.

So when @ewarren says she cares about income inequality and gives a speech on it and unveils sweeping policies to address income inequality... GUESS WHAT? I believe her. Because she's been fighting for this for decades. She'll fight for it win or lose. It's who she is.

Let me put my political philosophy for presidential campaigns on the table. If you say you believe something today, but don't have a clear demonstrated history of fighting for that thing before the campaign, and are between 40-80 years old, I just don't believe you.

RT @BernieSanders: Young people are the most progressive generation in history. Your generation is anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-religious bigotry. You should be very proud of that, and you should not be afraid to think big. https://t.co/kLLcehq1TO

RT @AOC: Reminder: - Slavery ➡️ Jim Crow + Redlining ➡️ War on Drugs ➡️ Mass Incarceration - Black Americans & PoC are far more likely to be convicted + sentenced longer than White Americans for similar crimes. - Our system routinely criminalizes poverty + exonerates wealth

@QJames @Bakari_Sellers @JoeBiden Thanks Q. Here's my operating philosophy. And it runs deep. I struggle to believe the presidential platforms of candidates if they don't match up with their actual history. I put a much larger weight on their demonstrated history than their website & campaign speeches.
