"Can't Count Votes? Just Draw Straws."

Journal by fustakrakich

That the Democrats lose House seats, do not win the Senate and barely manage to drag their demented presidential candidate towards a stalemate tells a lot about their lack of sane policies. A donor party completely disinterested in what the people really want - medicare for all, no fracking etc. - will have little chance to survive a future onslaught of conservatives with a more competent figure head than Donald Trump. ...should Trump lose this election, Trumpism will only grow and make the U.S. ungovernable.

    Saying her name means acknowledging the injustice that occurred. Refusing to say her name or even address the injustice that occurred means you refuse to acknowledge the injustice.

    Breonna Taylor wasn't a rioter or a looter. She was innocent. The police executed the no-knock warrant at the wrong address. A mistake does not make it legal or justified. No innocent person should have to fear that a SWAT team is going to bust down the door of their apartment without warning and kill them.

    You rightly complain about civil asset forfeiture. You don't like it when the police seize an innocent person's money and possessions on the basis of a suspicion. But you won't acknowledge the injustice of the police killing an innocent black woman.

    Your refusal to say Breonna Taylor's name speaks volumes. You've showed your true character once again. We're done here.
