This is what people fail to understand. You can't just only vote on the "big elections" you make more impact on your daily life by those alderman, congressional, Senate races and etc. All those small initiatives and proportions... That's the government you see and experience.

So happy this is FINALLY getting some steam. Still doubt this point will ever make it to the main stream corporate media though. This is the primary reason I unapologetically will not vote for Hillary.
****************
From Professor Michelle Alexander, author of the New York Times bestseller, ‘The New Jim Crow’
"If anyone doubts that the mainstream media fails to tell the truth about our political system (and its true winners and losers), the spectacle of large majorities of black folks supporting Hillary Clinton in the primary races ought to be proof enough. I can't believe Hillary would be coasting into the primaries with her current margin of black support if most people knew how much damage the Clintons have done - the millions of families that were destroyed the last time they were in the White House thanks to their boastful embrace of the mass incarceration machine and their total capitulation to the right-wing narrative on race, crime, welfare and taxes. There's so much more to say on this topic and it's a shame that more people aren't saying it. I think it's time we have that conversation."

Also keep in mind (speaking to non-registered voters) registering to vote means you can get called for jury selection. More people of color on juries could mean less people of color being incarcerated.

I read this book she wrote and it was dope. What she talks about is sad but true. More people should read this to be aware of it. This topic needs to be addressed more. You hear it every now and then in the media, but the matter doesn't get that attention it deserves.
