3. This election should show we don't need them.

Nov 2018

No need to change our message to pander to racist whites whether they be men or women.

A certain senator from a small state preached that in 2016 and it didn't work then and won't work now.

Who cares?

We just kicked their ass. Now we need to not only get out our votes for 2020, we need to develop tactics to stop their vote purging and vote suppression which will bring out even more votes for us.

i don't expect them to convert them but i do think they should stop making excuses for them JI7 Nov 2018 #1
