You keep trying to make this personal and so there is really not much conversation to be had with you. I do empathize with you. I grew up in the deep South of Georgia myself. I too have an interracial daughter. So maybe if I give you a little bit of my personal perspective you might wake up a little.
You reference historical events. This is great. You're already on a good foundation for understanding what is going on. But you are still very much blindsided in loyalty to a party that does not represent your or my interest.
A party that has proven time and time again that they will abandon minorities or social justice for what they perceive (correctly mind you) as a right wing shift in American politics.
The Democratic party is adjusting to this shift towards fascism in an attempt to maintain their political power. They do not give a fuck about you. And constantly defending a party that is consistently moving this country towards the right because "it's not as bad for 4 years" is just no longer an excuse at this point.
I'd maybe understand that 10-15 years ago. But if you haven't seen exactly how the Democratic party has played a role in creating the situation we are in today then I don't think you're paying attention.
I am critical of the Democratic party BECAUSE I have absolutely no care to even consider the Republicans. They are a lost fascist cause and you are correct to be angry at them and their supporters.
But the Democrats need to be held accountable for their failures. There is a point when many of us realized the exact things I've said above and said "enough is enough" we must hold them accountable for their continuously right wing shift.
Harris literally ran an ad saying shed "build more wall". Like wtf. At what point do we not stand up to our own party?
