he s out there and eloquent and being an under arrestator. democrats have not done well. engage trump on the level of coup cultural war. it s afraid to definitely into it. it s a fear and it s something that i keep harkening on. a fear of backlash? andrew gillum has done well. when you are a black candidate, you walk on eggshells and you think you have to run fast or work harder and be smarter and all of those things. you are almost petrified of your own blackness. andrew gillum is doing all those things as barack obama is doing. we have been here before. women in this country, gays and black folk and hispanics. we have to reject that politics of fear. every time we attempted to make progressive policy changes moving forward, there have
