And congrats for getting my ire up while I'm in a flair.
You see, I'm a died in the wool Democrat, who only missed one off pres year election... and that was while serving in the Military. Never voted for anybody but a D.
However I AM very used to not having my vote count worth crap, nor my voice count even around here on such matters.
I live in KS, deep red but used to be blue when I was young. Nowadays they've gerrymandered even the one reliably D county.. I've been reaching out to those families from my youth to try to turn them back towards D. Guess I ought just give it up, eh?
We surely will have enough people voting D, and having their votes count in those 26+ states that have been electioneering out we women, Blacks, and Native Americans among other minorities they don't like. Your base can carry the day all by yourself can't you.
You better hope tfg runs again. That mught energize all these people you're so willing to write off.
I'm used to it. My voice, being a progressive D is usually pooh poohed like so many others.
But I don't care. I'm fighting the Koch brothers with as much vigor as my great grandfather had when he fought their father, or "toured" around here with Woody Guthrie. We don't tend to give up easy... nor do we ensconce ourselves in only like minded bubbles.
And so my lupus shoots a raspberry. Yea I can get childish in a flair. And that's exactly how your message came across... childish yet arrogant. But I do have a good friend who's as sweet as he can be, but when he writes online he comes across the same way. I'm gonna chalk your message style to be akin to his, and hope you're not just being an a** hole to me.
