To be fair, I knew we weren't going to make it back in 2016. We argue about the merits of Dorley because we're escaping this doomed reality into our fantasy world.

i got nothing positive to say to you about this. the kindest way i can describe that behavior is “cowardly”. i will live free or die, in the real world, not one of comfortable fantasy.
It might be. But I've been a political candidate, political activist, worked myself literally in the hospital to fight for reform. It was all for naught. I'm not just "cowardly" I'm "cynical." Trump won because the American people *want* fascism.
We thought we were fighting for the people. But "the people" are bastards. You cannot save a people who do not want to be saved; or a world that is destroying *itself.*
I'm not complacent. I'm proactive. You want me to join a resistance? Organize one. But the Democrats are worthless, and peaceful protest hasn't done shit in 40 years. So what the fuck do you want me to do?
What would you have me do that I *can do*? I'm a non-passing trans woman. I can't run for office. I'd be the first person cops would beat in a protest and hold without charge.
I fought, and fought, and fought... until the battle was hopeless. You want me to fight? Give me a reason to hope.
