Beto O'Rourke "We Need to Shock the Conscience of America" "it's not enough not to be Racist"

i love his words on racism in the quote below because it deals with all those who make excuses for Trump and his supporters.

He sure is making some people uncomfortable, and they're trying to harass commenters and drown out what he's saying

This may end up being his best. For his next ones, he should center them on topics close amd tangentially related to racism.

it doesn’t take a genius to predict that before 2020 election, we are likely to witness numerous mass shootings by white supremacists terrorists. The media can’t bury this issue.

The question is whether anyone is paying attention. It is the "dog days of summer" and I don't personally know anyone who is paying all that much attention to politics. We will see.
