pISSED off today... [View all]

I cannot believe someone "alerted" on me... So I am not allowed to get angry at Dems (like Clintons and even Obamas) for doing too little when I have lost my savings and think they should be out there marching WITH us!?

I've been trying to pull my life back together after that horrific abusive ex and they also embezzled/outright stole most of my inheritance - how? sheer bullying. The "LAW" says since I "gave" it to her, it's a "GIFT"... But shouldn't they also take into account that this person targeted me early on as having a house of my own, resources, etc that she could ingratiate herself and slide into my life... ?

Somehow, it feels the same to be called out here in a way. Like, everything is fine if I keep my mouth shut and dont rock the boat. Feels like my childhood all over again when my mom would tell me "don't talk to your dad, he's been drinking and is in a bad mood" ...or when I'd watch the news with him to be closer to him and ask questions so I could interact and he'd yell at me for...asking questions. (and yes, i waited for commercial)

SO - I'm going to speak my mind and get spanked... will I get tombstoned? Will this place I have seen as a safe haven become a battleground where I can find no quarter? Been here since before Obama won... And I feel like they should be out there with Bernie and doing more than saying I told you so or posting on "x"... And yes, I AM salty about the fact that many politicians, even our favorite DEMS, have enough money from their books and other stuff that this stock market thing didn't hurt them like it hurt us. I'm salty because it LOOKS like they can say these little things from the ivory tower and it's suposed to give us "Hope" to go out there and risk our lives on the streets. They should be marching too... or SOMETHING. If this is a constitutioinal crisis, then dammit, ALL hands ON DECK! wtaf?



So I posted here, because this anger and feeling that nobody here gets it or cares to hear it is very real. I'm hurt and even more upset because it almost feels likle victim shaming to alert on my anger, which is righteous and I'm NOT "bashing" dems, just speaking MY anger and feelings of victimhood at the disregard...
