27. I'm sorry you're experiencing that

It wasn't like this when I joined. This place was home. Unfortunately it went off the rails somehow.

I understand how disappointing that is. I used to believe we were better than "conservatives." Now I don't know. It seems to me we could coalesce around Democrats but that doesn't seem possible at this place. Why? I really don't know. Apparently I became a "third way" or a "corporatist" somewhere along the way. I often wonder how that happened. What did I do? Why on earth did I do that?
