42. I don't fit your theory at all, I suspect countless others also stand outside your model as well.

I supported Joe Biden with EVERYTHING I had to include time and treasure, and when HE made the decision to step aside, I supported and respected him for making that decision too. He was obviously pressured, but the decision was his and I respect his decision, especially in light of the fact that Joe himself later said he didn’t know if he could serve an additional 4 years.

Then I supported Kamala with EVERYTHING I had. I gave her and the party more than I could afford.

Now I get silence everywhere except for my inbox where all I see are emails telling me if I want to save the country I should send them more money. I’m PISSED OFF and I expect better. I won’t apologize to ANYBODY for that.

The other side planned diligently for 48 months and they made no secret of what they planned to do. They published it, proudly. What the ever-loving FUCK was our “leadership" doing all that time to prepare for what WE ALL KNEW might come to pass? Apparently? Shit.

I repeat: I’m PISSED OFF and I expect better. I won’t apologize to ANYBODY for that.
