I can not thank you enough for this. I posted something to FB critical of Harris and your post here is effectively the conversation that came out of it.

People who I hadn't heard from in 30 years figured it would be a great time to come out and insult me and call me names. One thing that I've noticed is they like to use the "vulnerable" as their excuse for all of this. I consider this to be using at-risk people as ideological human shields - unable to support their choice to endorse genocide, they foist the precarity of queers, blacks, the handicapped, fill in the blank - on me for the thoughtcrime of thinking independently of the DNC talking points.

It really does help me to feel slightly less insane to read posts like this from you, Caitlin, to reorient my interpretation of what is going on. Thank you.

I am now 71 yrs old and have been objecting to eg the steady erosion of Palestinian existence for 50-60 yrs . Also supporting other sneerworthy causes which might be described as 'bleeding heart liberal' or 'dangerously revolutionary' depending on the critique's origin . Voting is the least useful thing I have ever done ! Thus , as usual , Caitlin is spot on .
