You aren't getting this. As I suspect a lot of Democratic Party members aren't. As far as circles of black folks are concerned - we are being betrayed.

I'm 51 - after Harris? There won't be a Stevens in my lifetime in the Democratic Party. How quickly folks caved.

I will vote Democratic - but that's it.

Good luck getting white supremacists to vote for the party. if you hide us and pretend we don't matter -

You should be pretty successful!
