It’s a shame Marianne is so kooky. It’s a missed opportunity to go into the Democratic primary without a candidate to endorse.
Yvette and Tone should be trying to get in contact with Steyer. He isn’t afraid to talk about black issues, but we need a specific plan from him.
This sounds very much like "
what's his black agenda?". If I misunderstood, please let me know. But if I'm right, then I'll say this. Aframs don't need a
plan from him. You need to
give a plan to him. That's how this politics thing works. The passive "what is this good white man gonna do for us" form of voting has to stop. You have to present your politicians with a plan and have them tell you how
their agenda, platform, proposed policies addresses YOUR agenda.
Steyer might be Marianne 2.0 at least on stage. I have no idea how genuine or truthful he is about it. But Aframs now have a 2nd chance to support someone with a clear, explicit black agenda. And the opportunity to further help craft a real black agenda. Hopefully between now and the general, Aframs take full advantage of it.
Another thing.
For those Aframs who go to church, are you strongly suggesting to your church to teach Civics. Because that's something that black folk are needing. The political process has become too much of an unknown. Black people as a whole have been making novice mistakes and basically relearning everything that was already learned and battle-tested from the 60s and 70s. It's holding us back. Right now, it's less like we're moving forward and more like we're finally not walking backwards.
