Democratic party has never 'chased' black women. We don't ask for too much. Yet 94% of us voted for Clinton. After that letter delivered to the DNC late last week - that might change.

One thing I've spoken of amongst my circles of activists and politically active - is making sure we give directly to candidates.

Withholding from the Montana Race helps us give more to Watson-Coleman in 2018. More to our Gubernatorial Candidate this year. More to the candidate in the state '23rd' (Asian Woman is running! Squeeeeeeeee!).

We give time, money, votes, rides to the polls, etc. etc. We don't ask for much. We just want to make sure the Democratic party continues to see us and our issues.

How does one pander - to a sure thing?
