I hope so! I want to believe so! But I am always deeply suspicious of individual politicians, and I'm always mindful that the United States could quickly snap in the same direction as the UK, where the Labour Party, the leftist party, has become viciously queerphobic.

I mean, in the space of just 4 years, we've seen the Democratic Party go from supporting refugees at the southern border, to pushing the same kind of atrocious policies that Donald Trump pushed when he was president.

So I'll never deceive myself that the Democratic Party stands for goodness and human decency.

Nevertheless, I'm willing to embrace them now, as at least a temporary ally, always mindful that they're fickle and they'll change their minds if they think it benefits them.

I'm not saying this to try to somehow belittle your message. It's important. And I agree with your major points.

But I'm not all in, because Democratic Party policies do not uniformly align with my personal sense of morality and decency.

I'll work with them because I have to, but my hackles will always remain standing on end.

I think it's very important to say that, especially for people on the left like me who despise many conservative Democratic policies.

I don't want to turn people on the left off, after all.
