It's all about finding a reasonable middle ground.

pscot
(21,024 posts)of sitting around talking to yourself? For every hardcore wingnut, there's another person who's confused, misinformed or indifferent. Many are just clueless and believe the guys who make the most noise. That's generally the conservatives. Why would you pass up a chance to spread the good news about the Progressive agenda? This is the basis for Christianity and Tupperware, so we know it works. Right now some of these folks are getting all their misinformation from Faux news or Alex Jones. They need to hear from us.

We have our own problems with how people speak of and treat the President right here on DU, why would we want to go slumming for more?

The only thing you can "get away with" by being black is saying the n-word. A privilege that many whites are verrrrrrrrrrrry jealous of.
