Don't get me wrong. I hate Trump. I think he makes polices based on right wing news and whoever he trusts that minute. Not to imply that a pre-election Trump was invested in being fair and even-handed either.

I don't feel like the Democratic Party gives a shit about me, either. Especially in the direction they've been headed.

Let me clarify. The Republican Party is full-on deranged. It's not based on serving corporate masters except to strip-mine the American people for their present wealth. It's more about nationalism than wealth tbh. That's an added short-term "benefit."

Decreased regulation — or increased regulation that small companies can't afford — and unenforced:unenforceable regulations, is a chronic problem with both parties. The Democratic Party is the Party of the rich more than the Republicans. It has just enough nods to communities that they are better than the GOP, but they aren't good to them either. The line I'm reminded of is, "it's ok to be gay or black, just so long as you aren't poor."

If a Democratic candidate is going against a Republican, in any area, I wish them well. But unless that candidate is willing to really invest in the American people, I won't work to support them. I know, I know, what does anyone care about my one vote? Or my measly donations? They don't, but I'm one of millions who feel this way. Not just the ones who voted for Bernie, but the people who feel so abandoned by a system that refuses to really help them that they refuse to even vote. And voter participation gets worse every election.

Do yes. Donald Trump is terrible, bases his policies on god-knows-what, and refuses to admit that what he is saying is more than just cruel. It's fucking unamerican.

And more than just focusing on Russia, maybe just maybe, the Democratic Party and the American people, have an honest — public— discussion on how to reduce our prison population, close the income inequality gap, protect the health of our people (not just give them access to expensive health insurance), and reject the corrupting effect of high dollar donations to campaigns.

Seems like good policy to me, and that's a lot better than just saying "beat Republicans."
