A few of our stories and columns are now in front of the paywall. We at The Chief-Leader remain committed to independent reporting on labor and civil service. It's been our mission since 1897. You can have a hand in ensuring that our reporting remains relevant in the decades to come. Consider supporting The Chief, which you can do for as little as $3.20 a month.
To the editor:
It is naive and divisive to assume that every racist in this country voted Republican. It is similarly naive and divisive to assume that every Democratic voter was not racist (“Future tense,” Letters, The Chief, March 14).
Black Lives Matter condemned Harris’ anointing, noting fair, open primaries were needed. Is this racism? Former Ohio state Senator Nina Turner (Black, pro-Black, left wing) said Black men she has spoken to have their reasons why they don’t support Harris. Turner respects the right of a citizen to choose the candidate she doesn’t support. Is this racism? Trump gained ground with Black men in 2024; I guess these Black men are racist.
Racism allegations, devoid of any specific proof, divide the very demographic that needs to be united in these troubled times. If whites don’t vote for a white Democrat are they racist? A “free to vote for anyone as long as you vote for my candidate” attitude is a real threat to democracy. Networking now with fellow like minded citizens locally and nationally and formulating a winning strategy is how Dems take back the White House in 2028. Your candidate lost. Stop whining, get a grip, get over it, move on. I suggest you look at the YouTube videos and network with fellow Dems. Even Harris and Walz have moved on.
