"You take our votes for granted" Saint Louis based and Black Lives Matter co-founder Tory Russell came back to #LeBreakdown as the US presidential is reaching unprecented levels. In this episode, Tory Russell brings with him the latest developments from the protests he is taking part in and how the current political climate is not promising for non white minorities in the US. In a clear cut rebuttal of the "fake dichotomy between voting for Biden or Trump", he addresses the Democrats' blind spots on systemic racism, wealth inequality and doubles down on Bernie Sanders' incapacity to effectively weigh on the democratic establishment and to secure a larger portion of the black vote. As anti-police brutality protests continue acrosse the US, Tory Russell insisted on the need for funding to make the "movement sustainable" especially as he sees a further detorioration of the political climate at the national level.
