Something's died inside me and it isn't coming back [View all]

The media, the monied donors, and high ranking members of his own party took down a successful sitting president. Removed the incumbent edge.

This feels worse than:

Nancy Pelosi re: GWB "Impeachment is Off the Table"

Al Franken must step down, no investigation, no seeing if there was Russian meddling.

Hillary being right about Putin's puppet and then learning about all the evil shit that GOP/Putin colluders did.
Hillary "losing" despite have more votes. Gore too, the GOP members of the Supreme Court fucked us yet again.

My vote has been disenfranchised twice. Maybe 3 times depending on how you count it.

My vote for Dean Phillips kicked off Steve fucking Schmidt's pass the torch. That GOP mofo who plopped Sarah Palin on us. Who planted the evil seed that Biden was too old. 50 years of service. Good governance. Gone. Poof.

I worked for like 20 years to flip Phillips' seat from red to blue. And now the seat is up for grabs again thanks to that asshole. Beautiful spring days spent inside Eden Prairie high school, caucusing, after an awful winter in Minnesota

Phillips is a white male. Schmidt is a white male. I'm smarter than both of them, put together.

But that doesn't matter because I don't have the power that the Patriarchy gives them. As a woman, I don't have the money they do. In 2022, American women typically earned 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. I'm white, so I can only imagine the financial impacts on women of color.

I now have to wait until some rich white dudes decide. Or watch battling white men, as challengers for power, tear apart the party at the convention. And then lose the election. Stupid white guys.

My own party threw out the votes of primary voters.

Something has died inside me, as a woman. We are hated in this country. In spite of the fact that women are smarter than men. I'll now have to hear what men, mostly white men, decide.

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
Prince

Young dude bros get to think they've saved us! Until maybe they have not and I get to become, at best, a Martha in Gilead or sent to the colonies.
