I hope this subject comes up in the next debate.

Thanks for the thread Duppers.

"The entire American experiment is at stake in whether we can manage to deliver prosperity in a way that your race has no bearing on your income, your wealth, your employment opportunities, your experience with criminal justice [and] your ability to vote." - Buttigieg


We must make America a much more fair place for everyone. Leave no one behind must become an enduring reality for all Americans. Our countries future and that of representative democracy is at stake.

He cut through the fog and so succinctly described why Trump’s behavior creates an existential crisis.

And I believe we are witnessing the moment when Buttigieg found his voice.

Not so, with round #2, it will be on EVERYONE'S doorstep. And every drone in the air will be our enemy.

Didn't the very stable genius Trump tell us about the taking of airports during the Revolutionary War so they must have had an air force during the Civil War after all Trump is never wrong just ask any of his brain dead supporters. LOL

Sometimes I get tired and frustrated and I wonder if that's not a bad idea. Let ~40% of the populace go off and be a banana republic, while the rest of us are free to move more towards western Europe and Canada. Then I think, no, my country is worth fighting for.

of supporting a social system that allowed, even encouraged, slavery.

Strange how it was the white populace of privilege that reaped all the benefits from the economy based on slavery.

When allowed, people of wealth have always "owned", in one way or another, some of the poorest in every society.

Every time Pete speaks, I grow prouder of him.

This is stating the obvious. We all know this!

We have been saying this on DU for years.

What else ya got?

Congress and the Democratic incumbent should hang Lee, Davis, Bedford Forrest, and others, in effigy. No more quarter for traitors—it got to this by playing nice them. Time for justice.

It's such an uphill battle in the South - Look at the hump supporters.

I meant that figuratively. ✊🏽
