50% predicted to vote. Yet after the next racist cop episode, you can bet 100% of those who didn't vote are going to complain.

I know about the suppression, the purging of rolls, the intimidation AT the polls. But at some point you have to speak, to be heard. Throwing in the towel is not an option.

The only language that works, at this point, is the language of the vote.
