42. I don't believe

That enough good people have the courage to do what needs to be done.

The base of the party - Black Women - including myself. . . we are in self/family - preservation mode. We have the inherited trauma of our grandmas, greats, and great greats to guide us to safety.

I'm really hoping other groups will stand up, step out of the line, and go balls to the walls. It's too dangerous for us and our families.

We have Congresswoman Crockett - but she needs for example - Democratic Party men who are white, asian, latino, to have her back. Behave exactly as the Magat Party men do. I don't care what is done - I'll have their backs. But folks need to at minimum get loud.
