I wouldn't say these things. I'd like more blindness with regards to gender and race when it comes to government policies but I'm optimistic overall. I get that the candidates need to pander to minorities. That is OK. As the honorable mayor of new york will learn in a hard way, even a 90% approval rating among minorities is not enough to carry an election without support from whites. I hate this fear you've succumbed to because I'm afraid it will be a self-fulfilling prophesy. We are destroying ourselves. Fear hurts us because it makes us follow lunatics and insincere people like Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush. We need to take a step back and stop listening to fear mongerers. Of course, our work never ends. Of course, we need to push back to defend our rights. However, I don't see us pushing back. When we support antics like occupying a park office, we are not reaching out. We are withdrawing further. We are showing that we are afraid. Some dude not getting to graze his cattle in federal land is not a constitutional crisis much less a moral or religious one. I equate it to me going to the NSA and demanding them that I be given a free vps on their servers. I mean clearly my taxes paid for the data centers... I guess my point is if we stopped fearing and withdrawing into ourselves but rather tries to reach out then we will find a lot of the others will see what we really want isn't bad. However, we must discard the craziness and the insincerity. I think it will be a little easier to do that if we stop being afraid.
