Every envelope I get asking for a donation from here on out gets the return envelope back with no money but instead a note promising them a donation if they start advocating for women against trans-rights activism. So far I've done this for the ACLU and for PP. It's only a matter of time before the DNC sends me another letter begging for money. They'll get a note too.

I just want to hear about real issues again. Supporting middle class labor, education, the environment. These are the things that get my dumb ass to vote, but of course the left is eating its own self over fairy-dust. I'm amazed at how they're topping themselves this election cycle. Can you even imagine being a politician today? You won't have the luxury of taking a "pass" to answering stupid questions about issues that do not matter to most people. And if you answer them wrong, you're done. This has nothing to do with how actual constituents feel, it has everything to do with the raving megaphone of media and social media. "JK ROWLING BAD." Most normal people are not exposed to any nuance of that particular accusation. Now imagine she were a politician running for office. Most people aren't going to bother to get at the truth and will just tick some other box because "JK ROWLING BAD...uh...because of some LBGT stuff? I dunno."

That's a great idea.

My address isn't on the return envelope, but the only reason I get them is because I was a donor in the past/am on some mailing list because of my interests, so I think it gives a little more weight than just being a rando on social media. Like, hello, I'm a real woman here who was on your team!
