Doesn't really lead to a future Cabinet Position post the Regime.

The reality is - she and Al Green are minorities (literally) in Congress. Why are they the only ones who stand up to the Regime? Why would we NOT want her in the Senate for Impeachment Trials? If white Democratic Congress people were serious about fighting they would have all held up those same signs.

But nope - only a Black man had the guts to do it.

Talarico - nice guy. But we already have one Minister in the Senate. And that one is historically significant on a LOT of levels. He's also a strong civil rights champion and isn't afraid to lose because of his principles. What purpose does Talarico serve?

The only win is getting people who don't vote to vote. That's everywhere this year.

I really need non-Black liberals to start telling the truth.

Don't say Listen To Black Women, put us on the sidelines, and not believe in us.

My biggest beef with Harris is that she played nice with her boss. Love Joe Biden! Love him!

But she didn't throw enough elbows.

Crockett is throwing elbows and the Party base love her. She's enchanting Latinos in Texas. It's a minority majority state. She has name recognition. People know her, and know she's consistent. I need white liberals to stand ten toes down on business if she wins the nomination.

Start now with "The Republicans are rigging the election against her".
