I’m kidding, but it's important to remember why we sometimes make generalizations as a society. Not all bees will sting you, but still we’re scared of bees. We don’t say, “only some bees will sting you” because that’s a given — it’s redundant. In that same way, no one really means all men are trash. Not all men are the same as Mr. Big.
Start by asking yourself, “what is the cost of my silence?” Once you realize your impact, you can become intentional and aware of your surroundings, your actions and your voice. It all matters.
Our ideological democratic government should not have a platform for baseless conspiracy theories, loony lies and outdated racist ideology. Certainly, influential representatives and even the U.S. President should not be enabling those voices or uplifting those platforms.
The future of the Democratic Party is one with two defined factions: the moderate, incrementalistic faction that fights to maintain the status quo, and the progressive, democratic socialists who fight to change the system.
