If you want to set the record straight, let’s set the record straight.
I also supported President Obama twice.
“
Supported” twice not “voted for twice.”
It’s a significant distinction for you under any other circumstance.
I thought consistency was your thing - until it wasn’t.
It is also the candidate that I no longer support. And I acknowledged the mistake of that support.
You did not rescind your support after Charlottesville, after his violent, disastrous response to this summer’s protests, after he disrespected the late John Lewis or Elijah Cummings, or after his negligence annihilated the economy and irrevocably fractured thousands of American families.
You only considered it a “mistake”
after he lost.
That was the catalyst.
And I supported the Dems flipping the Senate.
You did so in the runoff election - NOT the 2020 General Election. At
that time, you supported Republicans holding the Senate. You “supported” a Democratic Senate at a time when you could no longer vote for it.
If only we could dispense with the four years of terror, carnage, and suffering this most loathsome President wrought as quickly as you tossed out your MAGA hat.
Unfortunately, we can’t. Women, who came to this country to escape violence and persecution, have been sterilized against their will. Families have lost loved ones to state violence, White Supremacist terror, and preventable disease. Myriad others have lost their homes and livelihoods.
They don’t get a “do over.”
That “exciting tomorrow” you largely opposed will be denied to those who, through the manifest selfishness of people like you, did not live to see it. The hopeful future they worked for, but will never experience, is now your undeserved privilege.
Live with it.
