In a War, there are many Battles...The objective is not to Win every Battle, it's Not To Lose... Sun Tzu, The Art of War
In reading many posts regarding politics, many have focused on the Democratic Party being the lesser of two evils, both parties are the same and/or the Democratic Party has taken Black people for granted...Additionally, these posts have only focused on the Federal Level...
I've read the Analogy that America is a burning house... Let it burn down...I agree, it is a burning house... The statement, though, is not complete...
You still in the House ..
You are pointing at others saying they're stupid for trying to save the house, while the FIRE is engulfing you from behind & the roof is falling on your head...
To win battles within a War, one must put themselves in the best positions, and fight from the higher ground, not uphill...
One must accurately assess the scenario in order to have success...

I submit...
Get out of your feelings, stop focusing on these politicians as though they have a personal relationship with you,...
Get involved...Get involved... Get involved...
On any of the Levels...
Be the Change that you want to see...
Educate yourself on what it means to utilize the instruments available, ie. The Democratic Party (the Republican party has been taken over by MAGA) or build up a VIABLE 3rd party...
Symbolic votes or sitting out will not help you...
Help to position us to be on the Higher Ground Position...2 Fight Effectively...
Help to create that which you want to see & live in...
Or
Continue to be the Sheep that you criticize others of being...Easily distracted into non action...
By repeating the same mantras, seeking a different result... Which is a definition of...
In a War, there are many Battles...The objective is not to Win every Battle, it's Not To Lose
