   And it's annoying as hell. We've dealt with this all our lives and they can't handle 2 1/2 years. Where was the urgency before? They didn't listen to us then now they expect us to do it on their time. I'm not going from one problem to another. And EW is a problem.

   How is it an attack on Elizabeth Warren if I'm asking as a Black Gay Man what has she done for my communities in her 70 years on this earth.

   I know she stood with Republicans for 50 years which is disqualifying in my eyes. The fact she didn't do a thing as a Democrat is telling.

   Someone sees their next door neighbor’s door open and calls police for a welfare check them.

   Police arrive and, without entering the house, shoot the neighbor dead through the window.

   If that’s not murder, I don’t know what is. https://t.co/1lPYM57ky3

   I am going to say this for the bleacher seats. While there might have been some voters of color that stayed home in 2016…

   The number of regular Democratic Party voters who were denied the franchise due to Voter Suppression in 2016 was at least THREE TIMES the size of Dolt45’s “margin of victory” in each of these states.

   Tim Wise (@timjacobwise) Tweeted:
   Stop fetishizing white working class voters in PA/MI/WI. They’re NOT the key to victory. Trump won those by 73k votes. It’s easier to mobilize 100k plus POC who stayed home in ‘16 than to flip that many Trumpers. Flipping means admitting u voted 4 a monster. Folks wont do that. https://twitter.com/timjacobwise/status/1183146247848448002?s=17

   Black people need another phone number to call other than 911 during emergencies.

   Over the past 10 years American police have shot and killed TWICE as many people as the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq & Afghanistan combined.

   11,000+ and counting.

    Age has always been an issue as far as I’m concerned. My personal opinion, apparently shared by no one, is that the elderly candidates should not have entered the race. And I have to believe this denial of mortality has something to do with a major ego.

    Warren would be the oldest president ever to *take* office, but Biden or Sanders, on their *first* day in office, would be older than any previous president on their *last* day in office (i.e. Reagan at the end of his 2nd term).

    The Nazi Germany comparison is not unwarranted. I’ve been thinking this myself for some time.

    Turks blew up a nine year old girl, blowing off her legs. Trump gave the green light for this.

    67% of evangelicals support him.

    Seriously, you sons of bitches? Hating gays is worth the murder of children?

    We are all learning where we would have lined up in Nazi Germany.
