1. I don't know. Is it improper for us to tell poor people that they shouldn't vote Republican?

And I will always ask why someone is voting against their self-interest and against the best interests of all people.

to African American volunteers for her campaign. BLM was escorted out of the building by CAU's security guards,not the secret service.The secret service is charged with protecting government officials,not escorting groups out of meetings. I can see that Sanders supporters,no doubt feeling a need to find something comparative to their internet wide freak out over BLM's protest at Netroots nation,are trying to gin this up as something comparable.Of course,it's not,and in the process they're raking John Lewis over the coals. Let them speak,they cause their own problems.

A leader in the black community, a noted civil rights leader and now HRC surrogate, on film, in front of a audience at a HBC, trying to talk a civil rights group, doing the very things he has done in his early life, to just shut their mouths and leave. Usher right beside him, saying the same thing. The white lady said she would look into it, shut up and leave.
Money talks, poor people walk.
