General Discussion

and disappointing.

And before someone gets on me about not supporting Democrats, I have NEVER voted for a Republican, I have voted in every election since I turned 18. Once, I voted for an independent for a local office that no Democrat was running for, but other than that, I have always voted exclusively for Democrats.

That doesn't mean that I haven't been disappointed in them.

Being disappointed in them isn't the same as "bashing"...it's saying that I KNOW we ca and should do better.

Right now is when I expect Democrats to be fighting for US, for the country we all live in....you know, the one that is being destroyed day by day because no one is willing to stand up to the Republican party, their shock troops, and the orange monster at the top of their hierarchy.

There are some who use harsh terms, who speak plainly about what we're facing, but there aren't enough who are willing to stand and say, in a loud and clear voice "THIS is not right and it shall not stand".

Since Citizens United, many of them seem to be muffled by the stacks of cash they only get if they do as they are told. Again: This doesn't mean I won't vote for Democrats or that I don't support the party, it means that giant piles of money almost always win over the millions of us who don't have enough money to matter, even if we combined everything we have, it wouldn't be enough.

And yet, I can't make myself not care. That's the worst part. I can't manage to avoid the news and pretend that everything is fine, because I fucking care.

It feels like I'm watching a murder and there is nothing I can do but witness the death.

Sorry for the tangent Cel.
