I don't even live in the district but I get the feeling that the best candidate didn't win.

Thank you for writing this post. It's really difficult for white liberals to acknowledge their privilege and consider sharing resources, access and power. Is it fear? Is it selfishness? Is it a superiority complex?
I have no idea -- I do know it makes it difficult sometimes to go to parties, restaurants and the like when the supposedly enlightened start spewing some myopic nonsense.

David Yassky?
I knew he was doomed when he received and lost the endorsement of the mother and brother of the late James Davis.

He does have a lot to offer but it's really hard to convince a group of people who feel so disenfranchised that someone who doesn't look like them and can actually afford to buy a home in BK is going to be their best advocate.

That's just reality even if Yvette Clarke is a lying befuddled idiot. (How could she not know if she graduated or not -- do you have your sheepskin or not, woman?)

My hope is that David Yassky puts his savvy, intelligence and passion to good use within the political system. I don't wish the fate of Mark Green on him.
