We've been making this argument for the last 3+ years, my dude.
No one who is saying all of this now was silent the last few years. I've personally been donating to, campaigning for, and bolstering the messaging of non-Mainstream-Dem candidates since I became disillusioned with Obama in my mid 20s. It's not our fault y'all have been fucking ignoring us.
I took me a while to come back and find this reply.
I want to say that I am glad that there were people like you that stuck to your guns. I have hope again.
I was wrong and I am really glad that I was.
Cheers to you.
(Now I have a bunch of other people I need to find and say the same thing to.)
It's like they completely ignore the fact that they have been completely ignoring us for 4 years and it's just everyone else that's wrong and if they shout a little louder everyone else will just finally do what they say.
It won't work. They are the kind of people who got in the way of civil rights and left movements in fascist countries all over the world.
They won't even be able to comprehend how they caused their own pain and go down blaming others that they never had a chance to control anyways.

Yeah I'm glad we didn't shut up. But also that it worked.
And thanks for coming back.
