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

Well, at least we know she won't be bringing that brain-dead gullibility over our way. I suggest helping 'em start their very own splinter party. For their logo they should use a female-symbol adapted, brown-instead-of-green, ecology flag. Maybe add a fist as well as a "+".

I know there are some good ones among you...Kamala Harris, Maxine Waters and Pramila Jayapal...

Oh, my, the "good ones"?

Actually, this attitude was bound to happen.

By creating an astonishingly ignorant, pitiably entitled, hopelessly fearful and a sadly dependent underclass mass of voters, the Dem leadership, themselves, foment the causes of internecine divisions and vulnerability to major revolts and splits.

Oh, you'll be back. Schumer will send some flowers and a nice card. The swelling will die down and you'll put some makeup on the eye. The dark glass will hep too.

The split on the left is perhaps worse than any split on the right. On top of progtards v. corporate democrats you also have all this racial and gender BS.

This chick has a big ole’ chocolate chip on her shoulder, and the hint of a mustache as well. This reads like 2 drunk women pulling each other’s hair in a Walmart parking lot. She was “in love” with the democratic party? Who talks likes that? That’s weirder than that chick that was in love with the Berlin Wall.

Interestingly, she is both right and misguided. The democrats do jack for “people of color” and shrill lunatics like her whining does nothing for the democrats at the polls, so they are wise in wanting them to shut up.

Ahahahaha, give me McConnell v. Bannon nonsense any day over this shiite.

Recognizing the democratic party for what it is is a step in right direction. However, she’s still unable to think straight. Perhaps her brain has been irreparably damaged.

Well honey, the first step is recognizing you have a problem.

The second is to stop calling yourself a "brown woman."

Democrats had to dump the ‘black/brown look’ because they lost the white vote.

AND ...when Trump said “NO” to making 20 million illegals into citizen dems had to switch tactics. The old ‘we’ll flood the country with 3rd world losers who need welfare and disability’ changed to ‘we’ve got to appeal to Americans who live here...

Big change, sweetie.

Democrats are going to start running white vets, pro-life Catholics, and white blue collar types. Watch for it Saira Rao... it’s already stated.

Black/brown is soooooooo yesterday. AND Saira Rao you guys dug with democrats so deep you’ve got no place to go... democrats know that...white liberal elite women know that too... Oh and can you use the kitchen door when you leave?

That's not her picture.

From the article, this is her, from her college days, with Hillary.

You are correct.....Even before the election I noted that the lefties realized that ‘racist’ had lost its attention-grabbing sting and they turned to the more bizarre and sinister-sounding (they hoped) ‘white supremacy.’

But whereas ‘racism’ aka racial animus is a plausible motivation in advocating or enacting certain governmental policy, ‘white supremacy’ is strictly in the realm of psychotic paranoid fantasy.

What would white supremacy look like? The reinstatement of slavery? Anyone predicting such an impossibility is by definition irrational.
