Not a personal insult, I don't know you, just a snarky comment about changing parties. You brought up her qualifications, I brought up a disqualification. I know, you don't have to be a judge to become a justice, Barrett was selected for political reasons, not judicial acumen.
The selection of a Justice has nothing to do with me personally. Because I believe in the concept of a Republic, I am perfectly fine with that.
I didn't leave the Democratic Party, it left me. When I was young, and a near two decade member of the Democratic Party, it more or less supported common working class people, and it did not hold White-Males in hatred and utter contempt.
I am not a registered Republican even today. Though I usually vote for the lesser of evils, in the GOP candidate. As do MOST working Class White-Males. And every year, more and more Working White-Women.
Every Working Class White-Woman likely has a Father, Uncle, Brother, Husband, and Son or Nephew, who has be grossly discriminated against by the modern Democratic Party. Based solely on a superficial appearance similarity to someone who did something bad 150+ years ago. In other words, because of their Racial-Birth-Guilt.
I don't care if she has only 3 years as a judge, as I pointed out when I told how I evaluated her. I trust her because I closely observed her behavior during her testimony. I also trust her based on who her enemies have been demonstrated to be.
When I was at war, a whole bunch of the enemy absolutely hated me and they made great plans to see me dead. Most of my peers found that reason enough to trust and support me. One of them didn't. He threw a grenade into a huddle of our soldiers.
People are often defined in public personae, by who their enemies are. Almost no one is actually their public personae, but some people are more honest, and other much more dishonest, about who they really are, .... in the case of our new Justice, time will tell.
