Remember when Democrats knelt with kente cloth?

Y’all called it performative.

Were you aware that it was the Congressional Black Caucus that handed out the kente and they followed it up with a comprehensive bill?

Remember when Pete used multi-syllabic words when...
... discussing his vision and plans for the country?

Y’all called it platitudes.

Are you aware that his plans for climate, Black America and court reform more than adequately addressed all the issues most pressing in this election?

Remember when Hilary told us 2016 was about..
...our democracy and Trump would ruin it?

Y’all said she was making the race too much about Trump.

I’m sure you’re aware that over 220K Americans have died, over 500 sets of parents were separated from their children, unknown numbers of women are being sterilized at the border,
...and it’s all because of Trump.

It is high time we learn some critical thinking skills, so that we can adequately discern the situations presented and can understand the nuances of each situation.

As individuals, we understand ourselves to be more than just our good or bad...
...days, but that we are an amalgamation of many facets of the human experience and yet we limit our reflections on the human experience when it comes to politics, which is a HUGE contradiction.

A post-mortem of this election has to include an education or re-education of...
...our goverment, civics and how we as citizens can use our power to make change in our communities and this country, a mental health detox and fortification and an exploration of ways to update our daily interactions with democracy itself. Not only to stop making short sighted..
...statements about politics but to lay a new and firm foundation on which to have actual informed conversations on major issues that we have to tackle.

All this to say, if you don’t know what you talking about , right or left, conservative or progressive, shut THE hell up.
