The Democratic Base is strong, and ready to fight.

And we are damn tired of passive racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.

This is not about political correctness. It's about plain old correctness and doing what is right.

This is not about people being sensitive.

It's about people who are sick and tired of people who are labeled as sensitive when they are just trying to do the right thing.

I'm tired of the excuses. I'm tired of the insults.

Doing the right thing is always harder than doing the easy thing. But it's time to do the right thing. And that means to stand up to the jerks who want to keep things status quo.

No more hiding behind supposed political correctness. When you see racism, call it out. When you see sexism, call it out. When you see homophobia, call it out.

There is nothing to debate anymore. It's just flat out wrong. Stop letting folks make excuses, and start calling it out for the bigotry that it is.

After 8 years of watching them kick our President around with racist, hateful smears and complete lack of respect, did they believe we were beaten? Did they think we wouldn't be angry? Did they think we wouldn't see the insane double standards and misogyny as they went after Hillary, day after day after day?

Oh HELL no!
