I did not vote for Democrats hoping they'd give in to a Republican coup. I wanted the people I voted for to fight for our democracy and the rule of law. Y'all aren't making me want to keep donating and voting.

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.
