What Elder's loss tells us about white privilege [View all]

Lies, misogyny, racism, homophobia, xenophobia are things you get away with -- only if you are a white candidate. The actual racists can't muster enough courage to vote for a black person, even when partisanship is the incentive. Hate is bigger than even thug politics. The white racists stayed home.

To win future midterms, we should do what the republicans do -- hire a d-list actor who is black or trans as a Republican to dampen turnout from the actual racists, homophobes.

We need to limit their choices to voting for a black or trans republican, or continue to hate.

This should be fun.
