To My Voting Friends: On the REAL? I’m Not Angry at YOU.
I’m really not. I’m not angry or trolling. I APPRECIATE YOU, I do. And your passion and hope. Your determination and sincerity. I might think it’s mislead and misdirected, but I’m not angry at YOU for trying in the only way maybe any of us might know to make it better. I’m angry at where we’ve left ourselves (current and past “we”s) and I haven’t forgotten that truth. Nor will I let systemic evil eclipse that fact again. I apologize and I’m sorry for misdirecting MY OWN righteous anger at people who share my frustration, exasperation, and disgust.
So . . . some things. . . .
THIS. I don’t always agree with everything Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti opine, but they, Krystal especially, were on fire, here.
For folks who are champing at the bit to vote for whatever the lesser evil of the day happens to be, go off. Do you. Do what your conscience demands — I actually do get that. But just as I’ll wear the mantle of “one of those idiot, Leftie contrarians who let Trump win again!”
