    Can you imagine if Dick got in the White House back then, this guy was right on the button, the change in stance America would have had, it would have done America a power of good, got out of Vietnam sooner saved so many lives, he was incedibly articulate, amazing interview.

    I DEEPLY considered writing in this man's name on the 2020 ballot. Even with him not being here, part of me regrets not doing it.

    And in 2016 Trump asks African-American folks "what have you got lo lose".. it appears to me that younger people like myself just need to RELEARN the lessons in history, the other persons carefully made us forget.

      No, younger people like yourself need to first realize how fucking stupid you are. The democratic party is the communist party, and has been since WW2 ended.
