This young activist is angry and rightfully so. Could she have used better words? Perhaps. But to pretend to not know where this anger is coming from is deeply irresponsible.
Could everyone take a moment to look behind a person's words? That's the only way deescalate a situation. To pile on accomplishes nothing.
We all say things in anger that aren't eloquent, but it's important to understand why that initial anger exists.
This could've been a moment to ask why she's so hurt and angry at dems and Chelsea while dealing with the Muslim massacre in New Zealand, but no.
The mob takes over.
Shameful.
More empathy, less reactionary bullshit. Please and thank you.

You are so stupid it hurts.
MLK was a centrist, and that's why he was able to move things along.
And he was obviously learning from the master, Gandhi, who was able to secure independence for a whole continent.
The extremists in both cases were terrorists who surprise surprise did no good to anyone, including themselves.
And yet, MLK said he found the greatest impediment to progress in our country was the white moderate, aka, centrist or neoliberal who would rather embrace the status quo than fight for real change. Centrism is a disease, and MLK knew that.
Well said.

I’ve only ever voted Dem. I’m firmly independent now and wish a wonderful centrist candidate would run as Independent. A new wave of Dems is what my former party wanted and is what it got. Now I’m out.
+1
This is EXACTLY how I feel.
+2
Sure, because a couple of NYU students represent the entire Democrat party, while the GOP is locking kids in cages and giving tax breaks to billionaires.#walkaway, right?

Your words could be applied to any angry group, including voters in elections who may not vote the same way you do.

I'm so tired of this lame response.
A moderate makes you angry.
Push play.
Push play again.
Continue to push play.
Aren't you bored of yourself yet? b/c I'm bored with you
Good, then maybe you'll stop lying about being a "moderate".
