(1,737 posts)12. Divide and conquer is their motto
and It seems as if we have now been conquered.
"The black man accidently caused a backlash that helped take down a highly competent woman" Am I reading this right? So the take down of Hillary was Obama's fault? What else is the black man to be blamed for? This is complete bullshit. Hillary's emails dominated the news cycle in 2016, was the black man to be blamed for that as well?
If Democrats continue to buy into these racist fearmongers and fight with each other, we will not win elections. Alienating minorities will not win us elections! Rise up and fight racism instead of giving into it.

Technical point, they'd have to both be impeached simultaneously; otherwise whoever wasn't impeached
