black kids in '71, (good, deep blue FDR democrats whose parents lives were saved by the New Deal) or the "kinder" Democrats putting tens of thousands of black folks in jail because it is a path to more in donations, not standing up to the fascists and racist in the 90s?
You want people lo act like Democrats? They are.
No violence? Take a look around - 50 million people on food stamps, 100 million working poor, black men with a 35% unemployment rate - which the Democrats could fix by spending money, but they would rather crow about their low deficit, while some kid goes hungry, or not offer government jobs that are about the only place someone can get a color-blind shot at the job. An insurance program which denies coverage to 35 million people so it can give better coverage to the ones who signed up, The veterans, thousands deep in a line waiting for care after they gave what was asked by an ungrateful nation.
Ask the black person who had their face ground into the pavement for the same behavior that a white driver was allowed to drive away from.
There is already daily violence, but a few people make enough to insulate themselves, pretend there isn't any.
What you want is for people to act like human beings, like they were somehow dependent on each other to make it. Because we are.
But they haven't had to in so long, I suspect the world will burn before it gets their attention.
