So here's some thoughts on politics:
The US has a two-party system, and changing that is nearly impossible. But our "left-wing" party is weak. And it's weak because it's run by and full of cishet white men with nothing on the line. They aren't fighting for themselves the way the right is.
And THAT. THAT is what there's a hope of changing.
We need to demand they nominate women, and better, women of color. Gays and lesbians and trans folks and all kinds of queers. Only then will they be strong.
