Republicans have only five female senators.

Two of those five voted against the "skinny repeal". Yet it really seems to all be about the white man. I know that Collins and Murkowski are not progressives. Still, it's a beautiful thing to watch. The future of the progressive movements success will overwhelmingly come from the hard work of women and minorities. As this trend continues, watch how some try to desperately make it all about white males.

This white male is extremely proud to embrace diversity. We all must be represented and the Democratic Party is the only place making an attempt.

I did not mean to be offensive. As a white male I don't have much to be offended about in this area. That said, I'm always willing to listen and self-reflect.
