Social Justice is the ONLY Path to Economic Prosperity for Workers in This Country

51. The tone of the responses is almost deafening. To me, it makes the case...nitpicking, criticizing

bringing out the Hillary haters, and I challenge any of these folk to read up on Angela Davis, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King.

This is not about Hillary, although god help the OP for mentioning her name. There is no social or economic equality until the conditions of families of ALL races and classes are raised. Yes they go hand in hand, but not synonymous.

A black president could not change it overnight, but he took a few stabs at it. A woman president won't right all the intrenched, and racial/economic/social wrongs. Next, a Hispanic president might just begin to get us back at least closer to the country FDR and Eleanor gave their all for. And no parsing, nit picking and hair-on-fire anti-Hillary brigades will do anything but delay or subvert the progress.

Indeed...Divide and Separate...the Purity and Perfection Party...all beloved and cheered on by the Republicans and their handlers. I understand where they are coming from, but where is it taking Us?

One could almost suspect that this is a Republican political ploy to empower the aforementioned and reliable temptations the Democrats seem to at very least, flirt with. Hillary is the only one they fear, thus they seek their peers in the Democratic Party...so maybe they will have a chance with any of their own seriously-flawed Republican candidates. And yes, to undo what has been accomplished...Rove v Wade, ACA, Gay Rights, et al.

Great, well-written and thoughtful post. In spite of the above DU mini-groups...keep it up. Maybe they'll get it and I hope we all do, because if we don't, Hello, President Bush III. I still have hope and there has been change...some would say minimal, but it will always be incremental...not a huge wave...unless another FDR steps up with incredible power and courage and strength of character. We can prefer, and discuss, point out things and disagree, but ultimately it boils down to two human beings...then to one.

I will vote for the nominee of the Democratic Party have, as I have since McGovern.
