for our agenda.

this is why all the talk about establishment , status quo etc is bs. black voters gained influence in our party because they actually support it. and it's how we are able to get other progress in this country.

News flash: Republican suppression of the black vote made ALL of our lives, every single one or our lives, worse because now we ALL have to suffer under Trump.

So, before we get all insulted, maybe we should think about who the REAL enemy is here.

It isn't Buttigieg, is it?

No, it's Donald Trump.

As a white person, I am fucking outraged that my fellow citizens (like minded ones especially!) are having their rights stripped! It all trickles down and fucks all of us!
