15. We lost because of this attitude
Sun Nov 30, 2014, 10:19 AM
Nov 2014

The idea that a life is less important than a so called responsibility to a city or state is abhorrent and why Democrats despite a really positive change in demographics are on the ropes. Many people of color are being broken window policed out of any chance to vote...Ferguson with three warrants for every household clearly shows that...now why should people of color vote for Dems who betray them? Also, just how many Blacks will be able to vote if the broken window policing which directly targets the poor and minorities is not ended? Democrats have a responsibility to do what is right...and Nixon and the sorry excuse for a DA both failed and both are Democrats.
