Waiting in line to #earlyvote here in TX, an old white guy asked "Do you think African-Americans will vote for the VP since she's 90 percent Indian?" 1st, I explained how she can't be 90% Indian then wound around to, "Even if she's 90% Indian, AA have been voting for white guys for decades, so who cares?"
He moved onto 9 month abortions. I said that in rare cases, it's often to save the life of the baby but usually the mom. I then asked, "Isn't the life of the mother important, too? Shouldn't she and her doctor be the ones to figure that out not the government? Or you?" His brain sputtered a bit then said, "Yes." #ThatWasFun
We careened through a few other topics. Then he shut down. Guy in front of us said he'd never heard anyone talk politics so deeply and was texting friends about it the whole time. Felt great. Then we chatted about non-political stuff.
