Since we are removing all connections to racism why don't we remove the party that fought against freeing the slaves. Shit! We are removing the Jefferson Davis monument so why not get rid of his political party that is still around today. What party is that...what party...wait....I got it...it is the Democratic Party. Black lives matter should get rid of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party should be destroyed for the same reason the confederate flag is banned. We must remove all symbols of racism!
Yes, pretty much. The Democrats have been destroying their own constituents, principles and party for political statements and points
for a long long time now. (1) Addressing racism with more of the same in reverse (2) Preaching against bullying but relying on the same dirty tactics to run negative campaigns to win at the expense of principle (3) compromising "separation of church and state" to impose beliefs through govt and punish those who disagree and don't believe in the same things or with the same faith (4) abolishing "freedom of choice" by expanding even more health care decisions under govt control.
The ones who are aware are either frustrated, or leave, or they stay and play along hoping to get enough in return for their votes and campaign support that they can still get what they want from the deal. This causes division, but the only people hurt by this are the poor and disenfranchised; the wealthy and gay liberals who benefit from the division and fear continue to take advantage while others suffer from lack of free choice, lack of representation and inclusion, lack of access to participate equally, but only wanted by the Democrats for using the collective voting power to push their politicians' self-serving agenda.
People complain the corrupt GOP are just as bad, saying one thing, blaming others, then doing the exact same wrong. So much for "limited govt" when as much expansionism, bureaucracy, corporate abuses of govt OUTSIDE Constitutional check balances and ethical enforcement, and political game playing can equally be blamed on Bush and the rightwing as Obama and the left. .
The GOP is also going through similar, where the Tea Party rose out of this attempt to hold their own leaders to Constitutional commitments.
And BOY does the media LOVE to play THAT division to weaken and turn both sides against each other (to ensure time and energy are wasted, so ppl continue to depend on govt instead of fixing problems directly ourselves and THEN pushing whatever is shown to be most effective... That gets messy also. The Democrats are more in the closet about all this. They won't admit there is any fault on their side; any contradiction or conflict over "freedom of choice" and "separation of church and state" by implementing political beliefs through govt. Total denial.
The Republicans will generally admit their party and leaders get sold out and corrupted;
but they will turn around, point more blame on the Democrats, use that to divert attention,
but then go and commit the very same abuses by "conflicting interests" All sides need to do more to call out and stop the abuses of govt, not just blame the other side or party and actually organize around solutions, community centers, etc. to take community plans to the next level.
Sure they did. Wanna buy a bridge?
