33. the narrative that this is going to help Donnie "win" is flat wrong

It's also flat out truth that the quicker the most incendiary part of this subsides .. the better for Biden and our side. Violent clashes and burning are not to our advantage either. The name George Floyd should very much carry forward through the rest of the summer .. and the campaign. But it should be carried forward with pictures of people bowing their heads .. taking a knee .. and holding hands .. of which there are many.

We win this one folks. Stay vocal. Stay angry. But, after this weekend (and I'd suggest after last night), stay home.
