(53,035 posts)That is what some have said. That means I don't matter. That means my family, neighbors, and most Americans don't matter. Only they matter. That is how I see those comments. I see it as coming from a position of entitlement that dismisses the lives, concerns, and interests of the majority of Americans as inconsequential. Some are openly dismissive and contemptuous of the rights and concerns of the people on that list.
They are free to pursue whatever more they want. No one is stopping them from pursuing their own interests. I will not, however, sit back while they diminish my basic rights so that they can have more. I vote Democrat because it is the party that better meets my interests. They are free to vote in pursuit of their own interests.
