The ideals we were taught as kids were good ones…. now it is far past time that we live up to them…. it is never too late… there is always a future…. let us make it a better one for everyone.
Democratic Party Platform Every American, no matter their race, sex, ethnicity or national origin, language, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or disability, is equal, and Democrats are fighting for them. Democrats have a long and proud history of defending civil rights and expanding opportunity for all Americans. From the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009 to including marriage equality in the party platform in 2012, Democrats have fought to end discrimination in all forms. If the Trump Administration threatens a group of Americans simply because of who they are or what they believe, Democrats will fight for our core values of equality for everyone.We are committed to protecting voting rights, freedom of religion, women’s right to make their own health care decisions, and equal federal rights for LGBT couples. We must also strive for criminal justice reform, as well as common sense approaches to reduce and prevent gun violence.No matter who you are, who you love, where you’re from, or how you worship, Democrats are fighting for you.
Republican Party Civil rightsRepublicans, especially Republican women, are generally against affirmative action for women and some minorities, often describing it as a ‘quota system’, and believing that it is not meritocratic and that it is counter-productive socially by only further promoting discrimination. Many Republicans support race-neutral admissions policies in universities, but support taking into account the socioeconomic status of the student.7778
That sword could even just say “For everyone else”. It seems there’s DEGREES of challenge, but is any community really on an “equal par” with whites, in our US systems?
It isn’t just “justice” in criminal law, it’s that this administration refuses to support any regulation, law, or policy that infringes on their Fascist view that corporations/the wealthy are the only power in the United States. Actually it isn’t so much the color of your skin, but the color of your money that determines your “rights and privileges”.
Yeah. For her to be able to provide justice, the parties have to have access to the courts. And where/when the cops are the courts and the executioners… we need to fix the problem. It is very unfortunate that so many people (mostly unthinking right wingers) see the need to protect / aggrandize themselves at any cost to the nation: That is the sort of thing that leads to actual revolutions with people marching in the streets, demanding justice and pulling down the symbols of repression. Gotta wonder why it hasn’t already happened here… Oh.

Eventually those whom keep getting the sword instead of the scales seek alternative solutions to achieve what they need.
