Like literally, the problem is with Pugh in Baltimore, Browser in DC, Reed/Bottoms in Atlanta. They are the ones we should challenge. Instead the few of us who actually are pushing for real racial equity become the ones targeted.
I agree. ALL I am saying is that if the people we challenge them with lose, we have to make tough, smart decisions. I don’t think bailing out on a race is that

I get that. What I'm saying is that in big urban areas where Democrats have actually exercise nearly absolute monopoly power over politics, they are just as much of a threat to Black Lives and Black neighborhoods. Look at all the ways Black people are being pushed out of cities.

We're not bailing on a party when they are displacing us. When they are hyperpolicing us. When they are serving corporate interests. It's the Democratic Party that has bailed on us. That's what we're saying.
