    Al Green is probably the only one doing anything. Day 1 he was up there fighting for us.

      The problem Green and other representatives have is that they’re in the minority. This means they can’t do much more than make noise.

        I still think that what he is doing does have some power and effect.

        If for no other reason than to highlight the problems with the rest of the dnc and help us identify those who need replaced.

        His stance also validated our feelings. We aren’t taking crazy pills. There is a problem. It’s real. Even if the rest of the dnc is pretending like it’s not that bad, Al has sided with us and said “yeah it’s real fking serious”.
