the primary i was running a campaign down in illinois, was a bernie supporter, did switch over to hillary in the general election and it s because for me, for the communities that i m a part of, or the community i want to be a part of, trump posed a real threat to our existence in this country. and i say this as someone who s born and raised in milwaukee, wisconsin. i m a wisconsinite, i m a midwesterner, i an american, so, yeah. when you say pose a real threat to the communities you re part of, what do you mean by that? i mean folks of color, i mean communities of immigrants. i mean, trump has talked about putting folks that look like me on a national registry. we re thinking japanese internment. and i m also talking about other immigrant communities, communities that have benefited from dapa and doca. what are those communities going to do? are my friends and family members going to be deported?
