@richpuchalsky @HeavenlyPossum For the record I wouldn't call myself a Democrat. Mostly because I don't know what that means? I just think that in many cases it's prudent to use your vote for a Democrat. With many exceptions.
@johnzajac "if you vote for Democrats, do you get a seat at the table?"There isn't just one table. I was speaking more of simply voting at all. Running for office. Talking about the candidates, publishing newspapers, making media, participating in universities, hospitals, churches and sports. Being a part of society. This isn't really about Democrats at all?
