Disillusionment with the Democratic Party

This chapter explores the personal journey of an individual whose early encounters with a rare genetic condition and a blue-collar upbringing led them to initially support the Democratic Party for its healthcare promises. However, disillusionment grew due to foreign policy, leadership disconnect, and a lack of engagement with working-class concerns. The discussion highlights the evolving political landscape, systemic fundraising issues, and the urgent need for candid communication and local investment over extravagant political events.
