I don’t want to leave the impression that I think a progressive should not run, especially given your 30% stat. That’s not what I mean at all. I’m saying maybe we use that white privilege to give up our seat at the table for once, instead of the white progressive always being The One Who Runs. Then again that’s what…

Fair enough.

That’s all well-and-good, and, I can agree that the vote should be about the best candidate with the best ideas. I’m suggesting that there is a gap in POC’s running for office.

Shit, nobody left me a house. I rent. I’ll give you some of my lunch if I ever run into you.

Every white liberal-progressive face that wants to step up and run for office, that truly wants to serve, should really think twice and instead encourage a POC to run. Back them, campaign for them, canvass for them, work for them: without unsolicited advice, without agenda, free of ego and ambition.

You know, I’m inclined to agree. Maybe it doesn’t stick sometimes and they need a refresher.

Someone who loves them needs to grab them by the face and get real close and look them in the eyes and ask, “What the actual fuck is wrong with you?”

Agreed. You know their fur is home to an entire ecosystem?

I regret that I have but one star to give.

Somebody needs to wipe that smirk off his goddamn face.

Disturbing, dire, and important information - I did not know, and, now that I do, I can’t look away or forget. Excellent article. Thank you.

Then the only effective resistance is to reflect sunlight on his American Apocalypse.

The Democrats are killing me. They’re still being polite because I-don’t-even-know. Republicans could stand up a bill that rescinded the citizenship of registered Democrats, or encouraged their abortions, and the Democrats would with few exceptions say something to the effect of, gosh, we think this warrants further…

Thank you :)

The swamp may be shallow, but the septic tank’s deep, and the leach field bubbling.

On behalf of white people, I can only say, I really don’t know what is wrong with us. There is nothing about this that should have registered as a good idea because it is simply a wrong idea to have had at all.

At this point, the GOP’s actively involved, for sure: http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2018/01/23/recalling-the-effort-to-draft-stormy-daniels-to-run-for-u-s-senate-in-louisiana/
