I can confess now. There were times over the past year when I became so frustrated with what the democrats were offering (and not offering) that I think I even briefly spoke out loud that I would vote for the opposing offering. (I didn't.) Why was I so frustrated that I could even consider doing so? Mike, you stated it clearly. A party that can't stand up for the wellbeing of its adherents will be (and has been) abandoned by its frustrated adherents and potential voters. Americans are tired of being taken for granted. We are not that stupid. No more condescension by those who should be effectively serving our national community. The hundreds of voters that I welcomed at my polling station appeared to me to be proud and determined to have their voices heard. Across this country millions have been heard. It is time for a reckoning. Don't dare get lost in the head waging identity mirage of excuses. It's not "the good economy" for titans of Wall Street at play. It is the economic justice that everyone knows that they deserve to experience the reward of their hard effort.

You've put into words the vague frustration that I couldn't wrap my head around. Thank you!
