  You might be surprised at the skin colour of the poster you are replying to. Your question is also utterly flawed - there is no "heroic political party fighting for the rights of the X", and even if such a unicorn existed, it's definitely not the modern Democrat party. Politicians are like strippers, you fall in love with them at your own risk.

  > Your second paragraph: what is the alternative to voting a straight Dem ticket if you support science and want to see women, Jews and brown people get a fair shake in life? I'm a "brown" immigrant and grew up in Virginia when it was a red state. I got way more than a "fair shake," including the opportunity to attend TJ. Indeed, Democrats are the ones who are advocating to legalize discrimination against people like me (https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2021/12/9/biden-admin-backs-harvard-sffa https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2021/12/9/biden-admin-bac...) and eliminate objective standards that enable immigrants to break into elite jobs in favor of subjective standards that require social connections and cultural capital to navigate.
