In reply to yes how Coates explains that

there was a little demonstration as regards "brothas killing brothas" in the da Bronx today

Former and active gang members united during the event to call for a better way of handling their issues.

"Nipsey Hussle was already sitting there bringing the Bloods and Crips together out there," says Aminra Farrah. "He was already sitting there saying, like, you know, us as a people, us as a nation, we don't have to sit there and kill each other. We don't have to sit there and do these things."

One of the main goals of the activists was to show the need to support the city's Crisis Management System, which works to stop retaliation after an act of violence occurs.

In reply to Exactly. Republicans are

Republicans destroyed the economy of the state of Kansas, poisoned a city in Michigan, wrecked the education system in Michigan and Republican voters want more of the same. They get reinforced by right wing media. They are the 40%

Democrats have to appeal to the 60%. I think that the Presidency can be won in 2020 because a significant chunk of that 60% thinks Trump is a liar, a crook, and a racist. They look at their tax results and the prospect of losing health care and they are pissed.

Exactly. Republicans are united under the Fuhrer. He can do no harm, until it hits their wallets, and even then they may stick around. Dems, no. Cats, with policy galore! From nyt:

“The Democrats will issue a 61-page white paper that nobody in their right mind will pass on to their friends,” she added. “He uses a one-sentence slogan, and his voters (believe it) feel emboldened to share it, pass it on.”

In reply to Yes, yet almost every

Every Trump appointee has been trash. Each replacement has been worse than the original. Now we get Moore and Cain suggested for the Federal Reserve, The true Affirmative Action program is the Trump White House. The Republicans are tribalists. Everyone tows the line. The beauty of the Democrats is that organizing them is like herding cats. You get disagreements that have to be worked out. That is how a democracy is supposed to function. Tribes decide to work together.
