Hi everyone, I just found this website and I don't know where else to rant my frustrations about the current Democratic Party. I would absolutely be silenced everywhere else. So hear me out.
Let me just get it out there that I am as progressive as it can get and I disagree with Donald Trump on a lot of issues although I agree with trump on Foreign policy... but I digress. I support REAL policies such as Single Payer Healthcare, Tax funded college, ending the endless wars and foreign entanglements etc you name it I.am as lefty? that you can get. I have no time for their holier than thou, culture war bs.
After seeing the candidates I loved in the Democratic party get snubbed, pushed aside and forced to bow down to the fucking DNC, then proceed to coronate corrupt neocon hacks like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, I am done.
They pretend to care about racial and social justice, yet they nominate someone that wrote the Crime Bill and Kamala Harris who filled the prison system with minorities in California....with mostly non-violent offenders. Militarized the police and the reason why police brutality is rampant, especially on cities and states that are supposed to care about that. Then THEY DARE preach about BLM bs while this mess was their own making and they just deflect rightfully angry people.
They pretend to care about LGBT and Religious minorities as they bow down to Saudi Arabia and continue the senseless wars in the middle east.
They pretend to care about healthcare, but will always take donations from Big Pharma and will at most virtue signal that they care.
They. Are. Hypocrites. They offer no REAL solutions aside from Trump is bad.
I could go on and on and on about this... but I am with you guys this year.
Good on you, Thanks for writing and sharing your thoughts. We all know both parties are controlled by the Elite. Welcome to the real resistance. If you are researching things, especially as a progressive, and trying to make the world better, try searching for some classical books like the Law by Frederic Bastiat, and The Trivium, by Sister Miriam Joseph. Those books really helped me understand what was really going wrong with the world, and that it is more complicated than race or history.
