    My brother in Christ I have voted straight ticket Democrat in every single election I have every participated in, which has been every single one I can. And your assumption that I’m a single issue voter makes me feel like you’re making a lot of assumptions about who I am, which is frustrating

    I am not a single issue voter. And I consistently show up and vote democrat. Please don’t make the assumption that I fit into the caricature of “only cares about one issue and won’t vote”

        Yes, I would like better representation than I have, and that means being willing to criticize the party’s failings 😅

        I don’t thing the process of democracy really works if people just have blind allegiance to a party. I’m frustrated that my best choice has consistently let me down, that doesnt make me an asshole.

        I’d very much like for them to fix their shit, I think defeating fascism depends on it, and that means recognizing the ways they’ve fallen short.
