    I voted against my conscience because I knew orange would harm people I love. It wasn’t enough.

    So what? You still did the right/smart thing.

    Dems didn’t offer anything compelling because they are a failed party

    A failed party with a history of voting in favor of the middle/lower classes, who have provided affordable healthcare, strengthened worker rights/unions, lowered prescription drug costs, banned medical debt from showing up on credit reports, invested in clean energy, placed regulations on companies harming our environment, etc etc etc?

    When are you going to stop blaming Dems and start accepting that an amoral party was able to convince a terrifying number of stupid Americans to vote against their own interests utilizing propaganda? It’s not like it’s the first time in history that’s happened.

      Both are true at the same time. She failed to condemn a genocide. Are you telling me that you think all those students protesting didn’t matter?
