46. I wish you would have posted an excerpt
because it might get others to read it. (I almost didn't)

So:

The Democratic party will be a very interesting place once once formerly loyal Black Democrats like myself abandon it. But IMO that abandonment is in OUR best interests. Since we are going to lose anyway, and since it is clear that the DLC is willing to sell anyone down the river to win, I hope that more and more of us will be willing to say "we lost but we lost with integrity" and vote our conscience instead of 90% of us following a party loyalty left to us by our parents from a time when Democrats actually pretended to give a shit about our voting rights.


Going to lose anyway, yeah fucking duh!! If the votes aren't counted, what's the point in getting anyone to vote? The Democratic party will be dead. Doesn't anybody higher up get this?
