Okay, Monday I did laundry on top of dental work and initially poking at insurance to figure out how to appeal. Tuesday stuff broke down and I wasn't up for more work after a 9.5 hr day. Yesterday I ran into seriously, seriously upsetting stuff, so *tonight* I finally wrote and sent in my appeal.They're not there to actually help, but let's see. Maybe this was just a preliminary "try to make it too much work for people who can't come up with the spoons."
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
I did the button-pressing dance a bit in the elevator bays, on Friday night. You can blow with this, or you can blow with that!
I kept dreaming of a world I would never see. And then, one day, I got in!
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
