Convince me to stay a liberal.

21. Wow

I only see that group via links - have never posted there and never will.

I will tell you what I tell myself -

We have a choice - our Seniors eating cat food or our Seniors enjoying those years of their lives safe and snug as a bug.

Should the right wing wingnuts get their way and force child birth we have another choice - shelter, food, clothing, medical care insecure children or children who know their country loves them.

We have a choice - Same sex couples being able to marry but the next day losing their job or their home - or knowing they by law have the right to prosper.

I'm going directly after that OP - Civil Suits/Civil Court. We have a choice - do we want to live in a country where we are at the whims of the Domininant Culture in terms of receiving justice when murdered or beaten by cops? Or do we - the survivors get to have our day in court -

And sue the snot out of the individual cop and community that hired him for millions of dollars?

I've "come out" in two posts this weekend making clear - civil law suits will be most effective in stopping brutality by law enforcement. Take your drug laws, your pout rage over not being able to make BLM bow down to you as an individual, and your platitudes about MLK and shove off!

Millions of dollars need to be paid and any Liberal or Progressive who wants to poo poo that - is NOT my ally, is in the way, and needs to get out of my way or I'm blowing up up your mountain!


Now - did I convince you?

I've said before - with all due respect to the anti plutocrat, oligarch, corporate whore fascist overlords crowd - black folks KNOW. We have had HUGE wins staring with about 50 years ago when President Johnson made damn sure we were American Citizens. 100 years prior to that - we endured.

This is why the movement needs to be lead by black folks. WE KNOW how to put BIG WINS on the BOARD!

If we don't hold the line (and the little pups in BLM that are heads - women and lesbian included) - things will get worse for all groups who have benefitted from that leadership.

For women, for the GLBT community, for the poor, for the marginalized, for our New Americans, for the UU Church in TN, the Sikh temple, the Mosque, the Synagogue . . . stick with us.

We who are overwhelmingly liberal and progressive and Democratic Party VOTERS - we black folks know how to endure and get shit done!

Please - stick with us.
