We will not survive apart.


I was treated horribly by my own party. I just was.
I was told that I was an enemy of my party.
That I was going to be the reason why the Right won.
That the entire future of the country was in balance and that I was the reason why we would lose.
What was hurtful was that they were telling me this because of what I believed.
I was being told this because of my commitment to trans rights, Medicare for All — which is seen as radical communist propaganda — and workers' rights.
In the Democratic Party we have a broad coalition, and so some of the most conservative members of the Party…. it can be hard.
But the brutal reality is that we are all that we have. We will not survive apart.
I know. I've been there. It feels very difficult and challenging when the people who are diminishing you are the ones that you need.
We have to learn how to hold conflict, and hold together in conflict.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
