What do you think the black community's reaction will be to a vanishing number in Congress who look like them?

18. Coming to this particular thread late (while keeping up with the fallout from decimating the VRA) is why I just posted

We ALL better get out to vote.
Especially every white Democrat, and a bunch of white Independents, too!

I'd like to think white real liberal (vs "neoliberals" ) women [I am one] are 3rd most loyal Dem voters. Been voting since '71. All Presidential elections, and ?97% of State/Local as well.

I did volunteer (unable to vote yet in '69, '70) for 2 Republicans BUT these were genuine (a vanished breed) Libreal NYC/S politicians. Mayor John V Lindsey, Rep Charles Goodell (his son is famous in sports).

Did voter registration at my previous Brooklyn subway stop. Have done, will do the voter reach out by phone in which ever States need it thr most.
When i had access to a computer and printer ('90s, ? early 00s) I designed my own voting posters for 2 or 3 Presidential elections Anti Palin. Anti McCain. Anti W. Did one about do you want C Thomas to possibly become Chief Justice. I did a big poster and rode around my subway routes the more we turn out to vote the more we win.

I'd never call myself an activist but semi-activist - yes.
