I'm old and resigned to the fact we're going to give up on many people of color, female and older candidates so we can gain power.

Do we have to accept the white guy with a Nazi tattoo for a candidate?

He's apparently so stupid in eighteen years he never bothered to figure out what he got tattooed on his chest. (I don't believe he didn't know what the image represents)

One more example there's nothing you can do as a white man that most democrats will tolerate.
