It can be read as someone was very vehemently "protesting too much" in marking "no". I'd just do a casual scribble, since I'm only a little bit racist

I get this, but probably the best way to feel safer is to forge local connections. Check on your neighbors, they'll check on you

I was just talking with a friend about this. How do you build up a left-wing populist party? Establishment Dems seem like they'd rather lose than bring in progressives. So it'd have to be very grassroots, right? Tea party definitely had some help from the top at the time
