You are not the Voice of The Democratic Party. You are just you...one person with one opinion.
I respect and salute you for the work you do fighting voter suppression in Texas. You know that.
There is nothing I and the tens of millions of people who agree with me advocate that threatens that work.
A lot of people to your left are working on it as well-even as we speak.
It's not as though we can only fight voter suppression if the party is viciously anti-left on policy.
Nor is it true that African-American voters are anti-left on economic issues or any other issues. Polls show they are actually social democratic on most of their economic positions, in the country as a whole.
BTW, I assume you are white(is that correct, btw?). If so, why do you act as if you are entitled to speak FOR African-American voters?
