I’m a Democrat who used to call himself a liberal progressive. I don’t anymore. I’ve come to discover that liberals don’t exist anymore. And as far as progressives, well they are just mythical beast. I’ve never read about a person who had progressive ideas who didn’t at the same time had some of the most regressive ideas..I’m talking about you Woodrow Wilson, Franklyn Roosevelt, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson. Hell those Republican conservatives had as many liberal ideas as Democrats had.
Now when I turned 21 my mom took me aside and told me there are 2 sins you must not commit, one is not voting, the other is voting for anyone who is not a democrat. Well I have sinned several times. I voted for Nicole Malliotakis for mayor..I must have had my liberal progressive hat on that day, after all there had never been a woman mayor of New York, oh and believe that she said that her mother was Hispanic.I have also sinned when the Democratic candidate so called Liberal Progressive position was anti low middle class me, and would potentially do me and others like me harm.
Now let me state for the record that I’m a registered Democrat, who has donated to various democratic candidates including President Obama several times. “ Now I’m wondering if this wasn’t a huge mistake on my part”. The Democratic Party seems to me that they are more interested in my money than my vote.If they were interested in my vote then wouldn’t insult me with their phony surveys that they claim there interested in my opinion and the only way I can voice my opinion is through a donation. Accuse me of heresy against the president and the only way I can prove that’s not true is through a donation. Yea Democrats, keep it up and I’ll sin some more by not voting.
Now me alone not voting because I feel insulted is meaningless but if there are millions of Democrats who feel insulted, the party is in big trouble and it’s not because of Republicans.
*I’ve stated before that American conservatism no longer exists in America…
