I’m A Brown Woman Who’s Breaking Up With The Democratic Party
Huffington Post ^ | 12/16/2017 | Saira Rao, Social justice activist and co-founder of In This Together Media

Dear Democratic Party:

You were the love of my life. I fell in love early and hard. I have been the kind of party loyalist ― the kind of sappy, soapbox-y, clichéd devotee ― that makes Fox News moonwalk with glee.

The first vote I ever cast, at 18, was for Bill Clinton. The last vote I cast was for his wife, Hillary. My adoration for Hillary bordered on mania. In college, I named my ficus plant after her. Twenty years later, I canvassed, held fundraisers, dragged my 8-year-old daughter door to door, proudly wore HRC’s face on T-shirts and housed campaign volunteers in my home.

I loved you so much that I cried each time I voted. Thinking about the women who died fighting for my right to vote did it every time. I cried when I voted for Bill. For Barack Obama. I wept when I voted for Hillary. You’ve been that kind of mad love to me.

And now I want to break up.

I realize now that the love has been one-sided, unrequited. You’ve never recognized me, as a brown woman. You’ve taken my love, my money, my tokenism, with nary anything in return. You married the white woman and hooked up with me on the side.

...

I know there are some good ones among you. But for every Kamala Harris, Maxine Waters and Pramila Jayapal sticking their brown and black necks out for me, there are dozens of white female Democrats who want me to shut my trap, and say please and thank you. I should be grateful for scraps while white women enjoy a proper marriage with you.

I'm done with all that.

Much more whining at the link

She probably remembers when the Nazis and the Cylons bombed Pearl Harbor.

How many women died for the right to vote?

None -- in the USA. Women here were imprisoned and sometimes beaten (the Occoquan Workhouse incident in 1917.)

One, in Britain. Emily Wilding Davison was fatally trampled by a racehorse owned by King George V when she tried to pin a suffragist sash to the horse’s bridle during the Epsom Derby in 1913. More than 1,000 UK suffragettes were imprisoned between 1908 and 1914.

“At this point, if the GOP were interested, it could be a very powerful party that really was getting stuff done. But GOP ain’t got no time for that.”

The dem coalition of women and minorities, completely depends on white women.

This women is finally seeing that.

” In college, I named my ficus plant after her.”

Yeah, and your goddam ficus plant would have run a better campaign.

Snoochie boochies

Interesting [not] glimpse into the twisted thinking of a leftist loon.

So, I guess she would be happy if the Dem party was populated with more Maxine Waters and Kamala Harrises and that other one but the one that really floated her boat was Hillary after whom she named her ficus plant, an honor bestowed upon a very select few, unless I suppose one can give multiple names to a plant. Or, propagate them and give various names to the offspring as they are nutured to be gender non-specific.

So the folks she remains loyal to are the dark skinned ones, and the whiteys, or perhaps I should say, the "whitettes" should jump off bridges or die in fires.

This is genuinely one hateful, racist piece of human debris. Any party should be happy to have her vote. But she's a bulls**tter as well. Because if you have the slightest conception that she will vote anything but Democrat, you are sadly mistaken.

Well there was that one who ran out onto the track during a horse race, but that was in England.

Yup, she is. I know a few racists. FWIW, all are registered Dems.

That was your problem. These are the people that vote in their very executioners.
