I drew my line in the sand. [View all]

I said right on my online dating profile "I'm looking for a Democrat." I'm a man looking for a woman, btw. I was messaging with a woman who gave kind of a noncommittal statement about not supporting Trump but not liking politics in general so I said "just to be clear, I don't want to be with anyone who didn't vote for Kamala Harris". And I don't. Why the hell isn't every woman (and man) in America saying "Trump supporters can fuck off?" Very few women even fill out their political orientation. The fact is if you can't take two hours of your year to make a pragmatic vote to keep a CONVICTED felon and rapist out of office, you're not an adult. And I only date adults.
