. @CapehartJ is right. We need to stop acting as if the Republican Party just got messed up with Trump. What we see now the @GOP has been building for over 50 years, and they know in America hate has a history of working.
And racism is not just in Republicanism. Just a few weeks ago, 8 white Democratic senators voted against a living wage bill that would have lifted over 40% of Black working poor people out of poverty.
Democrat Joe Manchin is swearing to maintain the filibuster even though doing so will give Republicans power to block voting rights laws and restoration of the Voting Rights Act and much more.
We have to challenge this and call it out, and progressives must push the Democratic Party to hold onto a bold agenda that will bring more people into the electorate, especially poor and low-income people.
