(3,580 posts)With voting rights being chipped away, it is crucial for people to expect the candidates to respect them enough to ask for their vote.
I am so proud of blm, they are the future of this country and they are so committed to our political system. They are the hope of our future. I've seen so many up and coming leaders on this movement. They are learning and while they are learning to create a new dynamic they can teach us. Woe to the party or candidate who cannot listen.
I posted early they are tasked with moving a big inert mass of hate and indifference. That will take energy and passion and for some their lives. Respect it.
I decided I cannot post on any more threads that refuse to acknowledge black lives matter I just can't do it. It hurts my heart.
And honest to god Democrats need to remember the 68 convention. No one is owed a vote that so many have sacrificed for.
I am not impressed with the dems so far. I admit to supporting Hillary for now because we're 2 old broads who can fight and take a punch and still stay on our feet but none of these candidates sadly are capable of following in the steps if Obama as far as being transformative. Since I am a dem, I will vote for the dem, except for that nutty Webb, then I gotta write in Barbara Lee. But I can't in all good faith tell any of these young folks with so much at stake just vote for the Democrat without pushing and dragging them wailin and gnashin their teeth to saying the name. Say the name damn it. Black lives matter
I'm sorry, I'm tired I can't read anymore about hurting people feelings and rove tactics and minimizing the anguish and hope and fear as some political stunt. I'm done. I'm going to watch kittens and puppies
