This has always been a p*ssy train of thought to me, no offense to you directly. Yes, we're allowed to care about 'other' issues, but not to the detriment of caring about 'our' issues. That's where the disconnect usually lies.
We vote resoundingly democrat every four years, being told that we'll 'hold the party's feet to the fire.' When has that ever occurred???
I'd like to very delicately push back on this. I was called 'the best candidate this season' and it wasn't due to affirmative action. We do our young people a disservice with this argument.
