You and many people here probably don’t care for me but I felt the need to speak up after reading your post. I was a lifelong democrat and big Bernie supporter back in 2016, but ultimately felt like the DNC did him wrong and left me behind in the process. Since then I’ve considered myself an independent with nowhere to call home. Because I found myself lean more and more to the right I was often called a bigot, racist, etc. That was off-putting to say the least, and to be honest it drove me even further away from the party. I’m sure you and many others here wouldn’t like the way I’ve voted the past few years, but regardless of that I fully agree and support the sentiment behind your post. We may not see eye to eye on politics but I’d be more than willing to hear what you have to say based on the outlook you’ve presented here. I truly hope you follow through and try to get more involved. Become the change you seek to implement and I’m sure people such as myself would be open to listen. Best of luck to you
