I know the ratio on this is already ridiculous but I was still thinking about it when I got up this morning. We're not your resources. We're not your volunteers. You're the ones constantly asking for OUR money even though most of us have so little. We'll keep primarying anyone who doesn't get that

And if you would rather break your party than see it reflect the actual values of the people who do all the work for it? OK, burn it down. We'll build something better in the ashes.

There is someone in the quotes who called the response to this a pancakes/waffles thing, like if we're invested in the party this isn't about us. But I think that is underestimating how hatred of the party is INCREASING as investment does. The betrayal and disappointment is real, y'all.

I am watching people I know, people who have been putting blood and sweat and tears into the democratic Party in ways I never could have, absolutely give up and walk away because they no longer believe it's the best path to change things for the better. The hatred is coming from inside the house.

Anyway it's definitely probably not about me because I've never been to a democratic event and I fundraise for organizations I trust to help people on the ground. The fact that I don't consider the DNC part of that does feel like a THEM problem, though.

It's probably not great if you think your party has no place for someone like me, who purportedly shares many of your goals, who has voted blue no matter who for almost 30 years, and who is (might I humbly posit) pretty fucking useful as a political entity. Again. Seems like a THEM problem.
