    It means working from within the Democratic party to make it better, even when it has betrayed its values.

    What values?

    I fought for redress for my community and have spent my life ensuring that America understood that we could not betray our Constitution in such a way ever again.

    Constitution? That shit was talking about white men only and we’re really gonna lean on it?

      Because liberals like using interpersonal violence in their metaphors for politics, how is this any different than staying in an abusive relationship because you think you can fix your partner? Like yeah, maybe you make some progress; maybe you might even have periods where you love each other, but after the 500th black eye, you might want to reconsider the relationship.
