i have never voted for a Republican. never will.

yet i am torn by what you write, which you wrote very well, by the way. i do think the Democrats are better in theory. but in practice, they have let this country down in a lot of ways.

i agree that now we must unite behind the Dems bc no one could imagine how bad it was going to be and you are correct: it is all happening at the same time, which is unprecedented. but i insist that we stay on the Dems and really make them do their fucking job. Christ almighty, these people work for US. when did we forget that?!? i fear that people will say, "oh, the Dems are taking care of everything!" and suddenly we have another disaster on our hands, whether it's a new scandal or war(sometimes,like now, the same thing).

i think the bigger difference is between the voters. but again, this comes back to my inherent distrust of authority and the rich, which most politicians fall into whether they are Dems or Republicans and which is an assessment with which you don't agree. however, i don't mean to use the argument that i believe both parties are greedy to ignore action, but rather to cultivate it, for now is the time to act or our we lose our country.

the United States simply cannot afford another Republican reign of terror.

Words to live by

"The church of this country is not only indifferent to the wrongs of the slave, it actually takes sides with the oppressors.... For my part, I would say, welcome infidelity! Welcome atheism! Welcome anything! in preference to the gospel, as preached by these Divines! They convert the very name of religion into an engine of tyranny and barbarous cruelty, and serve to confirm more infidels, in this age, than all the infidel writings of Thomas Paine, Voltaire, and Bolingbroke put together have done!"


— -- Frederick Douglass, "The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro"
