   @JustOneMoreThing @HistoPol I am still sympathetic to the PoC and LGBTQ communities who often feel used for their votes and then set aside until next time their votes are needed to win. We need to win but we also need to do a lot more with that win than just get by.

   Harris at least seems to be positioning herself to do this but she's a stand out exception in that regard.

     I agree. In this aspect, realistic expectations are critical to not disappoint BIPOC citizens, though.

     As my handle suggests, I do look a lot at history. Still, it had not been until I listened to Mathew Cook's podcast to realize the dimension of the problem. The US were indeed built as a #SlaverNation and for the sake of unity after the War Beween The States, the North made too many concession to the Conderates during Reconstruction.... @JustOneMoreThing

     ...This will take more than one (willing) administration (and Congress) to undo:
