Mar 2016

on her conservative ideology and dishonest self promotion and not based on race.

If you think "PoC" are some homogenous mob who thinks and votes alike, you are a racist.

Why don't you treat people as individuals, and if those individuals are centrists afraid of change or in love with the status quo, let them vote for Hillary, but if they are progressive and brave enough to work for a better way, let them vote for Sanders.

Please stop reducing voters to their skin pigment.
