Uspol rant , technically a subpost, - - - 

You know.

Back in 2016 Sanders offered something somewhat further left than rewarmed Clinton administration, then I watched the Democratic Party mobilize like nobody's business to brand Sanders' supporters as misogynists, racists and dangerous extremist etc. F'rex Obama, literally the second most inspiring orator I can name, totally blew his cred with me saying it. And, as a Jew, I can't help wondering if it was JUST concern about us evil lefties, or whether Sanders was the wrong ethnicity - this while being expected to laud the candidate clumsily engineered in as a TRIUMPH OF DIVERSITY.

Far more recently, I've watched Dems support KOSA, renew defense spending without fighting a rider which took away support for helping military family members transition, and eagerly offer more bodyguards to a SCOTUS which acts to harm us. And then we delve further back into the lack of opposition to the Iraq War, and so many other things.

So no, I'm not a Democrat, much as I wish I could trust your fucking party. I have no illusions that your party won't gladly join in marching over the corpses of us poors, f*ggots and tr*nnies if you get a tech boom out of the deal
