"Sorry, not interested."

[Rizen]

This pertains to an online dating site. On my profile I specifically say "I'm looking for someone who's a Democrat. I don't want to be with anyone who didn't vote for Kamala Harris last election." So a woman messaged me saying "The Democratic party is too far right for my taste. I hope you don't mind an unapologetic leftist." Do you know what I said? "Sorry, not interested." But what I wanted to say is "It's absolutely appalling that we elected a CONVICTED felon, rapist and FASCIST to the white house that the supreme court has given a free pass to do whatever he wants! There's no fucking excuse! We're a chronically sick country full of appallingly stupid people and if you're not voting a strait Democratic ticket, you're part of the problem!"

1. I DO get frustrations

If you think the Democrats are "too far right", then WHO are you voting for? The Green Party is a non-factor. I guess you could vote for them. But let me ask the "unapologetic leftist" that of all the views you may hold close to interest, do you think Kamala Harris or Donald Trump would enact anything you wanted?

That said, I am for constructive criticism of the Democrats, we can't be sheep like the Republicans, but THIS IS THE PARTY where effective change WILL COME FROM. For better or worse, it's not coming from a third party and sure as **** won't be coming from the Fascists.

2. that same smug superiority (of your correspondent)

is, in at least some part, responsible for the dumpster fire we have made of this country.

And the infuriating part is - they are still patting themselves on the back !
( and we castigate the MAGA rubes as being incapable of processing information ...... i.e., learning ... )
