The radicals would be the folks saying its time erase black women from the Democratic Party.
That is EXTREMELY radical.
Using language that only appeals to young white men and racist whites who are just out for themselves - will ALIENATE the base.
We saw during the Raw Deal that a 'rising tide did not lift all boats'.
The reality is that the Dominant Culture in America is white folks.
They voted for this fucking guy - they wanted a Radical Revolution.
If the Democratic Party is going to be a bunch of feckless wimps -
Then tell your base the truth. Tell US the truth.
Is that Radical? Because this 'wishy washy lets fetch and step for bigots' is REALLY Alienating a lot of black folks.
We aren't the radicals who voted to burn America down.
