Is being a progressive bad now?

[Lyric]

21. Well I'm so sorry that you're "tired" and your feelings are hurt.

Yay, grown-up life--sucks doesn't it?

But there are people out here whose lives SUCK a hell of a lot more than yours, and they NEED to keep Ben Carson or Donald Trump or WHICHEVER denizen of the clown car out of the White House. Lives are on the line. Literally. Any Republican would cut food assistance, cut heating assistance, destroy the ACA, and generally wage a death campaign toward the poor, the sick, and the non-white.

Do you think your psychological angst over politics is more important than other peoples' LIVES? Seriously?

I'm sorry, but I think the people who swear (and MEAN it) that they'll abandon us if Clinton gets nominated are selfish, privileged fauxgressives who care more about their own feelings than about the REAL suffering of the underclass. I have a damned hard time feeling anything but disgust and rage toward them. My life, my childrens' lives, my neighbors' lives, none of those lives mean anything to them. At least not unless they can.have their way.

It's okay for us powerless peons to have to suck up unfairness and live with the shit-reality of life, but for the precious Bernie-or-Busters?? No, never! Burn it all down if we can't have what we want! Let the poor die, let the bombs fall, let the rights be taken away--fuck the world if we don't get our way.

And the beat goes on.

I don't know how you live with yourselves.
