I am done donating to democrats [View all]

Regretfully I donated to both Ruben Gallego and John Fetterman to help them win their elections.

Now I learn that they both are sponsoring the repubs "Laken Riley Act" which, according to a NYTimes article by Michelle Goldberg will allow for the indefinite incarceration of anyone merely accused of being and immigrant and of committing a crime. This includes children. With no requirement for due process or proof of committing the crime itself.

If passed as written by the right-wing nut jobs in the house it will become a stain on Democracy and an even bigger stain on democrats who appear eager to vote for it.

Fetterman and Gallego appear to be the new Manchin and Sinema for the Dems. They think that an immigration bill written by repubs is good "common sense" idea and makes perfect sense to them as is without any amendments.

I fear these two will backstab liberals the people who elected them over and over in the coming years as Manchin and Sinema did.

My new policy going forward is that I will not dontate a single penny to any democrat who does not have a solid record of fighting for liberal causes and will not donate to any democrat running for election for the first time out of fear that they are repubs or moderates who are lying just to get elected but have no real intention of supporting liberal causes.

Nor will I dontate to any democrat who talks about "working across the isle", "doing the right thing" or compromising with this new regime that seems hell bent on destroying our country.

We need fighters not appeasers.
