The sand in our shoes are ultra-leftists who play I am cooler than you games with young voters to try to top the edgiest position to take on any issue. Trying to convince this crowd is like pounding your head against the wall.

Honestly, the whole future of progress in this country lies in white voters unifying behind Black, Latino, LGBT, and other voters to help shore up the coalition to beat the right and create terrain for better policy.
