This is why we don't abandon the South.

You don't abandon those who have supported you there to suffering and discrimination. There is nothing progressive about that at all. You fight on.

Please read this article. On my Kindle and will post text later but this idea that your political strategy should inflict hardship just doesn't fit with inclusiveness and a just and progressive democracy for me.

4. All that is needed for evil to triumph is for the good to do nothing

Do NOT abandon Democrats and liberals in the South to these freaks.

7. Sadly, but it seems evil and the lack of reason has triumphed in the deep south.

I would hazard a guess that the KKK is more popular than the Democratic party in some of those states.

That being said, I still think there is hope for some of those states in the next generation.

8. Hate and fear have come to the fore again

It is up to reasonable people to stand up and push back. You can't let this become more firmly entrenched.

5. I agree with you but I read that whole post and I think that the ones talking about abandoning the

South are talking about campaigns. They mention the electoral college. They are talking about winning elections without the South. Using the money where it is going to produce the best results. And I think that only applies to a Presidential election. We have been consistently loosing over and over again in all levels of election for years now. The question is do we have any hope of winning in most consistently red states no matter where they are located or how much money we put into them?

6. The Klan needs to be exposed in the same

way they were in Ferguson. Take their sheets down. Shame them and appeal to reasonable citizens to step forward.
