2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Right-wing memes [View all]Martin Eden
(15,334 posts)67. You're referring to Republicans/Rightwingers, correct?
Sometimes it helps to clarify, just so DUers don't think you're referring to them.
For the record:
I "get" it as much as an American of European descent can "get" it. There are many forms of injustice in this country that require action (not just rhetoric), and police brutality/killings/mass incarceration of African Americans needs to be a high priority.
The question we should be asking ourselves is which Democratic candidate is best on this issue and the other forms of injustice, based on their public record and steadfast commitment to policies that will make a difference?
If our discussion is not based on substance, then what's going on here?
