Folks like you are willing to align themselves with people they resent and despise in order to expand their own privileges. Once "others" don't perform to expectations by not duly acknowledging that the interests and goals surrounding your identity should be given top billing at ALL times, and refuse to sit down and shut up at your command, you're ready to take your toys and go home.
I haven't commanded anyone to sit down and shut up. I haven't aligned myself with anyone to expand my privileges. As LadyforCamus put it, that's a rich fantasy life you've got going on there. I have suggested that maybe all of the name calling is a bit counterproductive. It's really the intense over reaction to reasonable messages like this that have made me stop caring.
As for my vote, it's not going to Trump. It has never been pledged to the Dems exclusively. But it's not going to Trump. It is actually very interesting that you do believe that all of the name calling might shift away from your side though. It's like you know that it's hurting you, but you just want to do it anyway. That's really interesting.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
