Dear Joe Biden, Why?
First, some context. I am a 21-year-old white student. My life is as drenched in privilege as any other early twenties woman going to school online on a scholarship and living with her parents for the summer. I have been attending protests in my city, Austin, Texas, for the past week or so. I am (and have been, for a long time) outraged at the state of this country, and seeing that Biden pledged to add money to our police system sent me into a frenzied hour or so of typing, deleting, and retyping, until I was able to form my emotional turmoil into something intelligible and, I hope, compelling. As I am almost certain Biden will never see one pixel of this emotionally charged word-vomit, I am sharing it with you all, so that I might gain at least some sense of community from the effort it took to tame and present my thoughts and feeling in a consumable form.
