All four Black Democratic senators said they will vote against the continuing resolution.

    Nobody should have to be a sailor just to get equal representation under the law.

    Everyone within the jurisdiction of the United States is, according to the constitution, accord that. I don’t need to “go sailing more” in order to deserve equal rights. Nobody does, and nobody should ever have to be.

    Shame on you for putting conditions on fairness under the law.

      I’ll not accept your shame. I just thought you enjoyed sailing. Perhaps just getting down to the shore, liminal space, would help. And to be clear, equal representation under the law, that’s the promise. Nobody, not even I said you need to be a sailor. smh.

        Now you know better than to assign your own aspirations to an Internet stranger who has already vociferously disagreed with you.

        May you take this lesson into the future for better communication with other.s
