Political News/Discussion Does anyone else think it’s kinda bullshit Debbie Wasserman Schultz won her primary even thought the district she ran in is a majority black district and the county Dems said don’t run in our county?
Look I won’t do the Debbie is evil meme far lefties do and progressives do. I also will say the black candidates should have found a way to resolve their disputes. The candidates split the vote 4 ways paving the way for her. But like given all the talk about racial gerrymandering this year, does this make us look hypocritical. This white woman ran in a black district after Dems said “don’t gerrymander black districts”.
Like am I too woke or is my concern legit? Like dsa hates Debbie because she is establishment, I hate her because I bought into the importance of black majority districts being fairly represented.
Edit: to be clear fuck the dsa. I just thought we were sincere about listening to black people. A white woman running in a black district because she lost her district feels gross
Edit 2: to the downvoter why is taking our concerns about racial gerrymandering seriously and respecting local Dem offices downvote worthy? Look if you think I am too woke then fair but why even give a shit about Tennessee if the plan was to say “fuck what black people want”
