The entire system is designed to work against the will of the people, Blacks especially, yet we feel as if the responsibility to maintain the system as it is is ours? That's asinine.
I'm tired of Black Psuedo-liberal cheerleaders acting like the Democratic Party is the best option we have. They are literally the party of slavery, Jim Crow, and mass incarceration, yet somehow they are our saving grace? It was LBJ who signed legislation that militarized the police in this country. It was under his administration that Black groups in this country were quashed and repressed. That's just one president.
Create an agenda for yourself, then create a political organization to execute your agenda, then worry about voting.
Can party platforms not evolve ? or change with time ?
In what ways do you think it has evolved?
If you think Obama's version of the democratic party and Andrew Jackson's party are still one and the same , there is nothing to discuss .
Of course they're not the same. But the post you quoted mentioned Lyndon B Johnson..
