Liberals will co-opt anyone who doesn't flag a hammer and sickle flag

Which begs the question, why fly the Hammer and Sickle at all?

Politics is a game and if you want to win elections you should learn to play it.

Nixon hid his anti-Black agenda behind phrases like 'safe streets' and 'the War on Drugs.'

Do you want to win elections or do you want to lose but be able to boast about how pure your intentions were?
