        @PatrickSvitek tired of this PC crap. If she wants to talk about slavery she can talk about slavery. Get over it #victimseverywhere

        @mercywarren76 @PatrickSvitek By no measure did it take 25 years to defeat slavery, Heidi is a fucking dipshit married to a mansized slug.

        @TheSiteIsBad @PatrickSvitek she's comparing party's creation, movement, &ultimate success in abolishing slavery to the hope for a new party

        @TheSiteIsBad @PatrickSvitek you aren't understanding context or the current movement of creating a new party on the conservative side

        @mercywarren76 @PatrickSvitek Knowing abolitionism existed before LP doesn't take much intelligence & I'm worried that you think it does.

      @PatrickSvitek pretty sure it took longer than 25 years to defeat slavery.

        @FREE_REMARKS @PatrickSvitek @ShareThis people were trying to defeat slavery for a lot longer than that. Read a book.

        @evelynisaacks Post was not about individuals like Anthony Benezet, but about the first national constitutional political party and 25yrs .

        @FREE_REMARKS then maybe you should practice editing to communicate more clearly. Or get used to being misunderstood.

        Maybe it took 25 years to defeat slavery — for white abolitionists. Took a lot longer for the slaves. @PatrickSvitekhttps://twitter.com/PatrickSvitek/status/730088559709802496 …

      @PatrickSvitek Everyone knows that we are still fighting against slavery. The @GOP #SCOTUS killed #VRA & @SenTedCruz supports it. #hypocrisy
