Cried when I saw something beautiful. That helped to let it all out.

I know that all we can really do is keep on keeping on.

I think a focus needs to be put on taking back on our states. If states like GA & even AZ have been morphing into a blue awakening, then those are states that could potentially get a Dem governor. And states like NJ are probably guaranteed to get one after Christie's debacle. Other states like IL, WI, & MI also need to be recovered from the GOP. Thankfully here in PA, we were able to get Wolf in (2014) and hopefully we can make sure he gets reelected so that he will be there during the 2020 census.

And no, there isn't a race war, but there is a level of toxicity on that as part of the problem.

Hey Ken, it goes far deeper than just the black community. I assume you know that.

Black. Women. Hispanic. LGBT. Vets. Jews. Muslims. Native Americans. All People that are not Lily white and Rich.

Why? 'cause they are sexist and refused to vote for a woman.

I spent the whole fall campaigning for Hillary.

This thread was meant as a way of reaching out.

What I tried here didn't work, so I'm self-deleting.
