Implying you’d give an [inks] about this race if Pressley were a white man
Dude... Chill. White men win plenty of offices. It's about time that the less talented of this over-represented group headed towards retirement--either voluntarily or through electoral defeat.
Look, Capuano isn't exactly the most silver-tongued orator and Pressely has a lot more star potential than he does. Its perfectly reasonable to replace an older, less exciting candidate with a new voice.
Remember when Mike Honda lost? He was a wonderful incumbent but lackluster af.
Meanwhile, in LA, African-American politicians in traditionally Black districts are losing to Latinos and Latinos are losing "Latino" districts to Asians. And Dems are looking at sending two native women to congress. Diversity is our strength and a diverse leadership is a more effective and more engaging leadership. That's why Gillum and Abrams are so exciting.
Meanwhile, even though white males are a small minority of Democratic primary voters, we are going to be electing straight white man Gavin Newsom as our next governor. And he has strong support from minority communities throughout the state.
