In reply to the discussion: Who here on this website thinks Joy Reid is a transphobic, homophobe today?? [View all]MrsCoffee
(5,803 posts)77. Well someone in another thread just said there will be NO BLUE WAVE if Joy is done.
Also said that it's being rumored that black women won't vote if she is ousted.
Which is ridiculous to most of us in the reality based world, but seems to be a big motivator for those who think it will sink the Democratic Party somehow.
