Marxist academic and former Black Panther Angela Davis appeared on Russia Today to explain why she will be supporting Joe Biden for president in 2020.
“I don’t see this election as being about choosing a candidate who will be able to lead us in the right direction,” she said. “It will be about choosing a candidate who can be most effectively pressured into allowing more space for the evolving anti-racist movement.”
“Biden is far more likely to take mass demands seriously,” Davis told RT on Monday. “The election will ask us not so much to vote for the best candidate, but to vote for or against ourselves. And to vote for ourselves I think means that we will have to campaign for and vote for Biden.”
