Good morning, Dblack...
But, there's always a danger, if one's cynicism and dislike of a person winds up characterizing your chosen approach to how you even air your positions, etc., may well undermine your wake up calls, and become a turnoff for others?
Instead:
Like I said and wrote before?
What is needed is present day social and political consciousness raising among our people!
First of all:
Are most (if not all) of them truly aware of how the (conventional) political process works?
My guess would be:
No...
Instead:
What did and does matter (which even I admit having only gotten hip to during the Gore bid)?
If you are a participant in the process as a party member!
It is more or less, i. e., on the basis of which registered party members chose as delegates, that is what determines who becomes their (not our) nominee...
Etc.
Though what was and is pretty revealing is how some of the movers and shakers of both parties refused to even let party's elected state officials digress one bit from the way things have been done for ages!
Why indeed are the delegates of New Hampshire more important (than say the ones in Michigan)?
So a few did make their point(s) pretty clear to the members of their two parties as well awhile back:
"Do it our way (or no way)!"
My and the and more to the point?
What we aren't a part of we don't have a say so over!
So, all of this chatter about that reveals how many don't realize and recognize just how far we will have to achieve true equality, both as have nots and nonwhites; which those who are neither and have nothing in common with us, other than us and them merely being citizens of the same nation...
Hence just being here doesn't in and of itself empower any of us!
So we must find the means and ways to empower ourselves!!
Facts are facts:
It's like that...
And that's the way it is...
FYI...
