    They are progressive black local leaders representing their community. Not racists. Not “corpo dems” haha.

    And they are saying minorities, the elderly, and the poor are more likely to be undermined because of lack of resources to be made aware of said changes. They did it last year, and many people in those districts didn’t make a second vote. Which means their vote counted less than others.

    Under voting isn’t a theory. It’s something that’s demonstrably occurred in these specific districts. They can see how people vote and notice that it is happening.

    Saying one demographic is more likely to be left unaware of said changes, after looking at the data, and noting the negative impact, is not the same as saying “black people are stupid.” That’s where your mind went for some odd reason, though.

    The local dem chapters in these types of districts aren’t Hilary Clinton, bro. They’re the opposite.

    Nice try. You’re disingenuous and desperate AF.

    There’s people who hate nuance, and there’s people who have a clear agenda. And they’re typically the same people. And that’s why you jumped straight to the “they’re racist corpos” when it’s objectively the opposite.

    Just to be clear: I am generally for ranked choice. And I’m generally for calling out corporate dems. But I’m not cool with disingenuousness, even/especially from people I otherwise stand in agreement with on issues in general.

    Calling these particular people racists is exactly what Trumpers would do. Btw. Same shitty playbook.

      Lmao. DC Dems are 100% corporate. You act like someone can’t be black and a corporate shill at the same time, which of course is racist.

      This is solely about suppressing competition from independents and third party candidates. They’ll use any argument they can to maintain the monopoly on power they have in DC. You’re falling for it.

        Because you say so. And these black people who live in these districts are racist against themselves too. Apt.

        People who use words like shill whenever they have nothing else to say are funny. You probably believe in pizzagate.
