MIRA! Great segment from Joy Reid [amjoy] diverse panel discussion
of issues/candidates. It's a bit long, yet imo informative; her paneled guests were outstanding. I've always enjoyed her informed, knowledgable perspective and effort to being relevant information to her audience.
Warren is my preferred and yes she can beat odious racist guy in WH. Her message is all inclusive, focus on improving the lives of all, focus on environment and climate change. I supported Clinton in 2016 and honestly believe that a progressive candidate can and will win in 2020. [Note: click on video, start a beginning]

Damon Young, [theroot]"I will never forgive white people for Donald Trump"
...Im reminded, again, of exactly who elected him, exactly why he was elected, exactly who still supports him, and exactly who I hold responsible for this happening. And Im reminded, again, that Ill never forgive white people for doing this.
Im aware that this feeling transmutes white Americans into a collective; distilling a demographic of hundreds of millions down to its least desirable parts. While not all white people has become the canonical clichéd reply to this sort of charge, it is also not false. Not all white people voted for Trump. Not all white people support Trump. And sometimes it feels wildly unfair to lump all in with the undesirables. But being fair to white people feels, well, irrational today. It feels dumb to offer a benefit of the doubt while knowing that 54 percent of whites either voted for a racist specifically because hes racist or didnt believe racism mattered enough to lose a vote. It feels stupid when realizing that this majority isnt just the frothing seas of MAGA, but also the white people who seem to be otherwise decent. A morning shift barista at your favorite neighborhood coffee shop. A co-worker you share silly memes and quiche recipes with.
