No one is enamored w/ politicians in general. I find that underlying idealism unrealistic, given global history. But thanks for throwing women, POC, and the LGBTQ+ community, as well as any chance of a sane response to global heating & climate chaos under the bus. You sound like a Russian troll, actually. I hope you have a Plan B.

For me, it is the height of privilege to not vote when so many people and so many other countries are fighting for just that very right—including the right to free speech, which we still do have. Democracy is worth fighting for. And right now that means voting Democratic. There are certainly amazing progressive Democratic candidates out there that we all can support, by donations and phone calls, etc. etc. It is remarkable to me that you do not recognize emergency situation on all levels that we are now in.
