Listen up! All our Gay, Lesbian, transgender, brown and black skinned brothers and sisters.........

Please don't ever forget what the Republican Party tried to do you. Do not ever get comfortable
with them again and never ever forget what they tried do with Woman's reproductive rights.
You now know who really has your back, so when things begin to heal and it will take some
time, never forget who got you to this point..And of course we on the other hand will always
remember that without your strength and perseverance we would have never arrived at this
glorious junction. All of us should Never Forget!

[JB126]

1. I'll never forget

I'm so happy that minorities in America finally figured out that if we all band together, we are no longer the minority.

[RC]

3. +10

That lesson needs to be remembered at the mid terms and in 2016.

[Bohunk68]

2. Preaching to the choir

my friend. The ones that need to hear that are called LCR's.

[jhrobbins]

4. I will certainly never forg.....

uh, what was the question again - it's my 'early onset' acting up again. heh
I told my first husband that I thought I might be having early onset AZ and he said, what do you mean, early?
Seriously, I will not; cannot forget.

5. I am a black woman who adores her gay father. I also live in Maryland and proudly

voted for Question 6. I couldn't be prouder of my fellow black brothers and sisters.

14. Stalwart

Great Post!!!! I embrace diversity!!!!

[dembotoz]

6. and please remember you have a ton of wasp straight male supporters as well

like me

[HappyMe]

9. .... and straight white women supporters too.

[Bluenorthwest]

7. LGBT as well as 'brown and black skinned' people were NEVER comfortable with

the Republican Party in the modern era. Not sure why you'd address the three top Democratic voting population segments, when it is in fact our 'White Skinned, Straight' community that heavily votes for the Republicans again and again.
I question the need for the implication that groups voting 70% and more Democratic were once 'comfortable' with the GOP. That is simply not the case.

[DURHAM D]

10. Thank you for correcting the OP.

I was stunned at the idea that we were ever so stupid as to support the GOP. It is an insult.

[Bluenorthwest]

12. Second thread this morning, out of 5 I have read, that 'lectures' us as to how to be

Democrats. They should be looking to us, all the groups mentioned, and taking notes not handing out advice.

[DURHAM D]

15. Exactly.

Where do you think this is coming from?

It is profoundly ignorant so clearly some asshole started it somewhere and other fools repeat it perhaps not realizing what an insult it is.

[hootinholler]

16. I've been trying to figure out what color has to do with the OP

Thanks for maybe clarifying via mind reading. At first I was confused, now I'm irked, or perhaps peeved.

[busterbrown]

19. I never said that. I said as the GOP begins the process of re messaging, Don't ever trust them with

your vote or support. Once a racist and bigot, always..........In most cases!

[LynneSin]

8. Don't forget women - we were marginalized by the GOP too!

In fact unless you are a wealthy white landowner OR a fetus you pretty much do not count in the GOP party.

[HopeHoops]

11. Well said.

[Shuhered]

13. My Gay Back !!

Karl Rove does not have my back. He is anti-gay for reasons I don't understand. He is not ( one hopes ) from our flock-- we tend to be cute to handsome typically ( inside too, I'm not shallow). George W's video talking about spending "political capital" spells out how beholden he is to doing his own thing ( like spending taxpayer dollars like a drunken sailor) without regard to the elderly, Head Statt programs and gay crisis centers, all areas of the American Electorate that got recognizedinally for their voting power. Tis crap about GOP soul-searching is silly. Whether or not they have a soul, white Repulicans do not give a fuck about non- whites. Hell, they don't even respect their Log Cabin gay Repulicans ( I respect them, I just don't understand them). Big shout out to females and their success in the Senate. Please have all our backs!! Our Democratic Party is the only reasonable hope to get his great nation where it wants to be.

[CakeGrrl]

17. WTF?

You're lecturing the wrong demographics.

You need to work on the poor, misguided "brothers and sisters" who drive beat-up POS cars with GOP stickers on them.

With black voters consistently coming in north of 90% for Dems and Hispanic voters over 70% this cycle, it's pretty clear who already KNOWS who has their back.

Go do some REAL lecturing to the people who keep delivering the likes of KY, OK, and AL to the GOP.

[busterbrown]

21. When you hate like they do, there is no changing............

This was an attempt to warn about the up coming republican re- messaging effort.
And it will come!

[mstinamotorcity2]

18. Hate to tell you that you really don't need to remind those on Democratic Underground!!!!

Its the reason a lot of us are here. There is no SANITY in the Republican Party. Do you honestly think they can appeal to voters that they have said they can't stand to really be a part of that non-truth speaking based group???? There will be no handshakes or false apologies that will gain the respect and support of a people who they have continually said that disgust them.

When they speak to people outside their perception of normal they don't even have the vocabulary to engage. You cannot engage what you don't know. One of the reasons I never trained on my JOB. I was hired to do my job not to train. Learned my lesson at a major retail company. 5 women including myself capable for position, none were even considered. Brought in someone, male from hardware department to assume position. He needed to be trained how to run department. Couldn't get help from me. In fact from no one else. When he was fucked up we would let management come from upstairs to address his problems. When management asked why we did not help him we simply stated that it was not our fault that he didn't know procedures,they are the ones who put him there. The truth hurts sometime.

The republican party must walk the wilderness for years to come. they have not learned their lesson. They are still talking against the very people they need. And are truly saying that they don' needt the minority electorate. And with that sentiment I will keep my 150 +6 coalition of voters right here in the Democratic party. I will not train republicans to get my coalition Sorry!!!

[LaydeeBug]

20. and...WOMEN!!! nt

[sibelian]

22. Be unafraid. Lack of focus is not an option for us.

It never has been and probably never will be. Being outside the world gives you a very clear view of its contours.
