A tweet from Barbara Lee, California Democrat who is running for U.S. Senate:
52 years ago, Shirley Chisholm announced her campaign for president—becoming the first person of color & Democratic woman to run for the office.
At the time, as a Black single mom on welfare, I didn’t believe in America’s political & governmental systems.
Then I met Shirley…
She was able to marry the taxpayer and have all of her needs met (housing, health care, food; maybe not Smartphone and home broadband like today). Why wouldn’t she “believe in” a system that transferred all of that money from working Americans into her pocket?
Guess her chances are not unlike the lion kingdom’s chances. Lions propose getting rid of all of the government except essential services.
why would she believe in stupid?
Stupid? Where would imaagrants like me be without barbra and joe? We cant earn a living, right? I need a cell phone and spending money!!
