and I agree with a lot of what you posted. I made a related post on the premise of more black people supporting Clinton than Sanders, and one of the rationales behind that.

Unfortunately, the rules got the first post locked in GD, and the post in the primary forums has been mostly ignored (predictably... which is why I ignored the rules and posted it in GD in the first place, lol).

I'm pretty much done with the "politics of personal destruction" as you put it. It's fucking exhausting.

Heading back to work, but 1StrongBlackMan invited me over to check out the AA group.Thanks! It's nice to remove myself from the slog of the primary forum and check out the more focused groups for different perspectives. I've been getting overly insulated lately :-P
