    Democrats who only choose Democrats because the other choices more terrible

    Literally me, and it’s super hard to do this when I have family and loved ones being detained or deported by a system that Democrats uphold, and neighbors suffering from lack of access to healthcare. Imagine seeing and experiencing all this and then being told that voting’s not enough – that we also can’t complain about it, lest we be dismissed as “Russian bots” or “Chinese shills.” Imagine never seeing certain people again, and then being told that I’m the one who’s privileged because I have the audacity to complain about it.

      Yeah and I tell them and I’m using my privilege to protect those without. Exactly what people with privilege are supposed to do.

      Dad had a heart attack right in front of me. He was complaining about chest pains a few days earlier but didn’t want a hospital bill. I’ve never been the same person since.

        I’m so sorry. I can only imagine the pain.

        We have the ability to provide access to basic healthcare to our citizens, but we choose not to. And we have very few politicians who support universal healthcare. It’s unconscionable.
