Showing Original Post only (View all)I'm sort of over everything now. The tiny bit of belief that I had in my party is broken now. [View all]
Ill still vote for Harris. Id vote for a rock with googly eyes over Trump.
Im 48 years old and I feel like the last bastion of hope, the twinkle in my eye that the world can be what we want it to be if we all stand together. Thats gone. It left today.
Ive realized that Im beholden to the same forces I detest from the other side. Were all just pawns to the 1%. Were pawns because our politicians choose to be their pawns. Weve lost our voice.
I think what bothers me the most about this is that were supposed to be the party that stands on the sanctity of the election process. We should have held primaries. Now were being force fed a candidate because the donors have spoken. I dont think Ive ever been this upset when it comes to politics, especially from my own party.
I understand that Joe is old, but the people that made this decision dont care if its the end of something that we believe in, they dont give a shit about any of us. They dont like workers, unions, or the middle class. They only care about more money.
Today was the day that this party diverged from being about the worker and officially became about the corporate oligarchy.
Harris has my vote, but shed better win or the party that I was raised on is dead.
