1/ Everything that’s happening was inevitable given the basic heartlessness now entrenched within our economic and political system. While that heartlessness reaches an apex in Trump, it has been there for a long time. Republicans promulgated it and Democrats too often went along

2/ Cornell West was right when he said the system has proven “incapable of reforming itself.” We know at this point what to expect from Trump, but Congressional leaders should be listening up and taking heed.

3/ It’s reasonable to expect nothing but a crackdown law-and-order mentality from McConnell, but @SpeakerPelosi and @JoeBiden could at this moment break free of their neo-liberal container, reclaim the soul of the Democratic Party, and actually make a difference. I hope they do.

4/ Trump is already having military units prepared to deploy to Minneapolis. If democratic party leadership doesn’t come up with a plan for bold fundamental changes it will be a huge strategic mistake. The era of politics as usual is over; need for enlightened leadership now here

All facts! Democrats and republicans have a chance to do something meaningful here... I don’t see either party rising to the occasion.

Democrats promulgated it all too much.... 1994 Crime Bill 1996 Immigration Bill Brought to you by the Clinton Cartel 🤔

We’ve been lied to for a long, long time. Living in our illusions. I didn’t vote Trump but I now see that we can’t fix what we can’t see. He’s simply a giant spotlight so we can see the corruption everywhere so reform can take place. We must be shown not told to awaken.

Your constant blame of Trump is old and tired. Racism has been a problem in our country for hundreds of years. Police brutality and riots didn’t just start with his term. This isn’t about all about Trump. I used to like you but now I’m seeing you’re just a big fake.

"Democrats too often went along" Stop making excuses for the Democrats, they're no better than the Republicans. Two sides of the same coin.

Dems (or at least Pelosi and the rest of the Dem establishment) didn't just go along. They enthusiastically promulgated it themselves.
