He’s a crabby old dick.

Lost me with Django Unchained, and I was already on my way out with Inglourious Basterds.

I will add that a progressive should not run if they are simply perpetuating the status quo, and I am convinced by persuasive arguments by those who know a thing or two about it (again, experiences are critical) that we should work to develop candidates by placing a priority on POCs. If 30% of races are uncontested,…

Ah. I see.

Oh, gotcha. Thanks!

Again, point taken. What’s a NEDD? (Sorry, I have to utilize a big chunk of my acronym memory for my job.)

You’re quite right, and I appreciate the correction - “always” is indeed cynical and intellectually lazy on my part.

Point taken.

I’m okay with this -not that it is mine to approve or own, mind you. I would support such an effort. For instance, I’d say in my voting district there’s probably an even split between white & Mexican, and I can guarantee that the folks running are white.

File this under: What Took So Long? Later, QT, and keep your mitts off Star Trek.

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.
