I'm beginning to think Dems outside of NJ are all about Christie

I know we don't have a lot of activity back here - but if Democratic Underground - with highly aware Liberals and Progressives are so about Christie and willing to give him a free pass - no wonder the national Democratic Leadership thinks they can get away with ignoring this election.

There is nothing Walker did, says, believes that Chris Christie doesn't.

So why do you guys think they are so willing and ready to say "But he did one good thing once so he's unstoppable."

If he is the 2016 anointed one - does this mean we are now in play as a battleground state?

Why does a discussion of racism (as it relates to black Americans) always dissolve . . .

Into a discussion about ALL the many ways whites Americans, Canadian Americans, Europeans to Europeans were ALSO treated?

Reference this 350 reply thread (at the time of this posting)

I'm not just talking about at DU - I'm talking in general - in the entire world. But that's one example.

Why most NON African Americans - folks outside of the 'slave ancestor experience' always DIMINISH our experience with ancient 'Tribal' fights amongst Europeans? Why not start a new thread for those discussions?

Is it yet another form of subtle racism/white supremacy? I.E. - Another case of "I can't honor YOUR experience at all let alone see HOW we are different and HOW your life/race experience in America has shaped you because well - I'm Dominant So There!"
