Hillary Clinton

3.You have to understand which issues WE the people think are the most important and stop trying to make everyone accept your stances on the issues you have decided are most important. You say, “We will work every day to fight systemic racism. We will fight for tuition free college. We will work to end the stranglehold of money in politics. We will never give up on single payer healthcare, defeating bad trade deals, banning fracking, securing living wage for all, and enforcing our rights to join a union.” How can white liberals fight “systemic racism” when they are attacking John Lewis, dismissing Hillary Clinton’s primary wins in “confederate states” and routinely denying the reality of white privilege? I can’t tell you how many times I have had to explain to a “revolutionary” what white privilege is and why yes, they did benefit from it. And I’m a white guy! I shouldn’t have to explain to any white liberal why their very whiteness provides them with advantages in this society. As for the others, well, ask yourself why “tuition-free college” is better than “debt-free college.” The only way to break the stranglehold on money in politics is to put liberals on the Supreme Court, which means a vote for Jill Stein is just stupid. “Single-Payer healthcare” is not the goal, universal healthcare is. “Bad trade deals” are in the eye of the beholder. Start by learning what’s in them, because most of the complaints I see about TPP are ignorant, as are the claims that NAFTA sent millions of jobs overseas. You’ll never ban fracking everywhere, so you’ll need to work on something more limited, at least until we wean ourselves from our oil addiction, which is far more important. Agreed with the right to join a union, but that will require getting rid of Republicans as a first step, so the constant attacks on Democrats actually undermines that goal. If you don’t believe that, look at the outsized influence of the GOP over 40 years.
