Since we no longer care about doing the right thing, let's talk about math and black women

21. We do the right thing and they get the power

So what we want does not get done and what they want gets done. But we did the right thing.

Gray area here and we should give these people a pass because we don't deserve that. We didn't vet them too well and then elected them. But we have no choice unless we just want to cave and suffer the punishment of the right getting what they want because we a punishing ourselves for said mistakes. That's overly medieval Catholic. Black women won't want that either.

Check the yearbooks from now on, but don't hand the government to the Rs over it. There is nuance in every situation. No one said they "don't care" about Northam's or Fairfax's behavior. But use judgment over the reaction to it. Saying we don't care is bad faith arguing. It allows you to refuse to consider the argument, as you can just label us an uncaring because we see the down side for US and for women or for black people in letting this one go.

Your math argument is premised upon many black women deciding not to vote Democratic, and thus let Republicans rule, over this. That insults most of them.
