Or Joe Biden, or Pete Buttigieg, or Amy Klobuchar...

Labeling electoral politics as non-violent protest or non-violent change (revolution?) is one of the biggest stretches I think I have ever seen made on this board.

no, he's testing out some other equipment

 
Brad is a perfect foil for the tunnels liberals, who have utterly no frame of reference but opposition politics.

What the hell is wrong with you people?

Me: "It is on white people to change."

White guys: *take usual shots at candidates they don't like*

I NEVER HAVE and NEVER WOULD say anything like that. This is total BULLSHIT. It's a LIE and totally insane.

It's INSANE to extrapolate my comments to mean "keeping him in check". I NEVER said anything close to that.

You couldn't be wrong!

If you weren't making like 25 different arguments, some of which you are actually arguing against yourself on multiple threads, then it would be easier to have conversations with you. I'll try again, though.

It's on white people to change - absolutely, but, beyond platitudes, what does that mean? Probably more solidarity organizing and continued work to mitigate institutional racism in process and outcome. It probably also means not supporting candidates whose political careers include doing a lot of intentional or accidental damage to poor communities of color. In particular, not supporting prosecutors as politicians and mass incarceration architects would go a long way in terms of cleansing politics of perspectives on policing (not to mention the thin blue line) that are extremely detrimental to communities of color. Not supporting candidates that have had contentious relationships with communities of color in their constituencies also might be a good idea for white people. Listening to voices of POC communities and activist/advocacy groups before making decisions such as nominations, announcing endorsements, etc. would also go a long way to lifting up these communities.
