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

Contrary to the standard expression this lady is NOT disillusioned she WAS disillusioned now (if you’ll pardon my coining a word) is finally is ILLUSIONED because she finally sees the truth and not her disillusion. Maybe she will take a better look at her remaining heroes and fully come to her senses.

In other words the Democratic Party is not far enough to the Left for her.

[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.]

Yes, a golden opportunity wasted to teach and set an example. Too bad they became the corporate party. They returned to their roots.

Her color and sex (i.e a ‘brown’ woman) are all that define her. This, by default, is racist and sexist.

As we all know, the most racist and sexist people are those who call everyone else racist and sexist.

By the way, Merry Christmas everyone!

Blacks versus white feminists is a major fracture line in the Democrat Party. There are only so many affirmative action slots available, and when downsizing happens it will be civil war between them.

She’s regressing... I didn’t think it was possible given where she started.

I may not agree with her rationale, or her new choices of “idols” but I applaud her and anyone else anyone who was “all in” for HRC and Company and who has now abandoned the cult.

Yes, this is a run on sentence.......LOL

The woman is an outright racist.

Well, even The Great Emancipator was of the belief that after the war ended, a more sensible solution was probably going to be to move them all offshore.

Women like this are never going to fit into this Nation.

The American race is just too far at cross purposes and belief systems to accommodate these people.

There were almost a hundred thousand that died at the battle of massengill. Then at the battle of tampax saw a insurgent fight that claimed another 20 thousand lives. Then the women continued itching for war at the battle vagisil. It's been a long bloody struggle for women to vote. Even now monthly blood flows during, what almost seems routine, violence while men kept struggling to hold the females in check.

The funny thing is she is from India. While she might have a dark complexion, she will NEVER be accepted as a “sista” by the blacks and Hispanics of the Dem party.

She’ll be back. Probably with her own MSNBC show...”Booty Call with the Pols”.

Your ficus plant is immensely more qualified for public office.

“Why couldn’t she just be a person? Why woman? Why Brown?”

Their only weapon is diversity. As long as it is there and it “makes us stronger,” it will be the card played.

They want to be a woman, or brown. Just being American won’t hold any weight as they are expected to do something about a problem. She isn’t. Talk’s cheap. But she can get away with it as she reminded you right off the first pitch she’s woman and brown.

This pretty much confirms what intelligent people have been saying about the Democrat base. The Democrat leadership has shoved them over the cliff into full blown meltdown.

Think about it, today’s whacked out anti-American, anti-Citizen, anti-business, anti-Christian, jihadi on U. S. soil, loving Democrat party just isn’t bat-s..t crazy enough for these people.

Great job there DNC.

You simply cannot meet expectations and not be locked up in prison, but of course your fawning party members are more than willing to pick up where you left off. How great is that!

Destroying people all for the party.

Where have we heard and seen that before?

Oh yes, every time Communism has been tried.
