What type of record does a civil rights leader need to earn your respect?

How large of a victory does a woman need to produce politically in order for it to be rightfully called a victory? Fuck the email. This was an ass whooping.

We don't want these holdouts. Look at how sick they are.

Let's judge our convention come Wednesday evening. I feel we are going to knock this out of the park. Let's see what happens during later time slots when the major stations go to coverage. If the news promotes excitement that might be excellent for them as more eyes might tune in.

The progressive message we are running on resonates with most of the country. Some of these Sanders holdouts are standing against us and look like fools. If they disrespect Cummings as they have done I'm sure the sorry assholes can handle being mocked by us.

There were other people of color who got the same treatment. It was truly disgusting. I was shocked that such a thing could happen.
