Hannah Drake: Welcome to OUR world.

20. Thank you for saying that

I'm glad you noted Eugene Goodman. He's a true hero.

The same thing goes (obviously in a different way) for black voters over the years. Black Americans are the most marginalized and mistreated citizens of this country, but election after election after election, we still step up, fight to overcome oppression, withstand suppression, stand in line for hours, face down threats, etc. to vote - usually for candidates we know won't protect ALL of our interests but are the best option available.

And while we're doing that, we have to listen to lots of entitled white people whine about how put upon they are because they had to "hold their nose" to vote for a candidate who doesn't agree with them on every single issue and even threaten not to vote at all because they need to send a "message."

Now that Trump was acquitted, some of these same people are carrying on about how "Democracy is BROKEN!" as if they just recently figured out that the system doesn't always work and this time, it didn't work for them.
