In reply to the discussion: Wow. Bravenak (DU member) going at it with Sarandon! [View all]aikoaiko
(34,184 posts)148. Well I remember when Bravenak was open and interested in Jill Stein, too.
I'm fond of bravenak because she genuinely cared about people - all people.
She cared a lot about women and people of color but she also cared a lot about white people and wanted us to care more about her.
She tried really hard to help white men like me to understand her.
But her frustration seemed to turned to anger and contempt. Fuck you memes is about what I would expect of her.
