Done with the Dems

I think--finally--I am done with the Dems.

Outraged that Saudi Arabia murdered a journalist and cut him into pieces, with no repercussions from Trump? Vote for Biden, because he won't do anything either.

Not too crazy about our foreign policy vis-s-vis Israel? Vote for Biden, and nothing will change? Sell more weapons to them so Boeing can make a lot of money. Status quo.

Worried about voting rights and the very future of our country? Or an infrastructure bill? Why don't we elect a Democratic Congress and watch as they bargain with the Repubs who will filibuster it anyway, because Senate traditions are more sacred than democracy.

Don't like cops killing unarmed black people? Apparently the Dems agree with you, so long as you don't say anything to offend all those suburban white women who are their new core constituency. Shut up about Black Lives Matter.

Oh, I'll still vote for them I suppose, just like I have my entire adunlt life, but I am finished with paying attention to them or wasting my money on them. Just text me when it's time to vote and I'll be there, but in the meantime I'm going to go read some good novels or something. That's a lot more rewarding.
