And I am an old white woman who voted for Hillary and have been a Dem who has worked in the trenches all my life!

Yes, I am thoroughly sick of the kowtowing to and handwringing about white working class Trump voters ... or BernieBros like those deplorable electors who refused to cast their electoral votes for Hillary yesterday. They do not deserve forgiveness or empathy and I sincerely hope that their karma will gift each and every one with what they most thoroughly deserve. Screw them ALL!

If the DNC begins to change its focus to groups other than those of us who have been most loyal - not simply for a Presidential election cycle but for the day-to-day slogging - then the Democratic Party as currently constituted will certainly cease to exist. If so, I want to align myself with whatever party stands proudly for civil rights and liberties for ALL of us - including those of all cultures, colors, races and religions - and considers those of us who are female to be every bit the equal of males insofar as those rights and liberties are concerned.

All white working class Trump voters and others are welcome to join us once their critical thinking skills begin to function. But we should not go actively seeking them and continuing to enable their nastiness. F**k THAT! We will also NOT sacrifice our goals or ideals to kowtow to them. F**k NO!

Much as I would love to "go high," as both Michelle Obama and Hillary have requested, I am much too angry EVER to forgive or to forget the nastiness, the pettiness, and the wholesale scuttling of our democracy that these people have ALL contributed to.

May they enjoy their smug selfishness as they lose their coverage under the ACA, their Social Security, their Medicare and their hopes of a better life! That smug selfishness will be all they have and certainly all that they deserve.

If only undeserving vulnerable people would not have to suffer the same fate.
