11. I can understand wondering about where the Democratic party's heart is, and even as a member,

I think its worth ensuring that our leaders are focusing on the right people and the right goals. It takes voicing our praise and our criticisms, not lock-step loyalty.

But I cannot understand how anybody would think that the Republicans are somehow less the party of the Rich. That is the Republican MO and they barely bother with a veneer, and Trump is nothing but an elitist narcissist who has gotten richer by screwing little people. Much credit does go to the media there, so my hat's off to it for being legendarily lousy, but it is hard when you do see it, to understand how others could have been so blind to it.
