Van Jones Blames 'Hurricane Trump' on Unexpected Culprit

[Dems to Win]

33. Just one small example of an attitude that I believe is helping Democrats lose

You have noticed we're losing, right?

Here's another small example, from a small mag, that probably didn't actually help us lose just because not many people read it, but I see as an unhelpful attitude:

What’s Millennials’ Support for Jill Stein and Gary Johnson All About?

HAROLD MEYERSON OCTOBER 6, 2016
White skin privilege, that’s what.

"On the afternoon of the opening session of this summer’s Democratic Convention, I was walking into the convention arena while hundreds of young demonstrators, many carrying signs backing Green Party candidate Jill Stein, shouted and occasionally hurled invectives at those entering the hall—an odd tactic, I thought, since more than 40 percent of the delegates entering the building were Bernie Sanders’s. The friend I was walking in with—a Latino legislator from California—cast a cold eye on the demonstrators and noted, “They’re all white.”

A group of young, passionate Americans airing their grievances and anger and pain, and their opinions are immediately dismissed completely because of the color of their skin. By a legislator, no less.

We'd be appalled if any group was written off as unimportant with a cold "They're all black."

Criticize their ideas, call them stupid idiots, try to teach them history, whatever. But immediately concluding they are unimportant because of the white color of their skin is a path to Democrats losing for the next 40 years, imho.
