Saira Rao - "I'm A Brown Woman Whos Breaking Up With The Democratic Party" - Who?
Here is the so-called liberal Huffington Post once again giving face time to a previously unknown progressive who declares war on Democrats, independents, Bernie Sanders, progressives, etc. for failing people of color. Of course, this progressive conveniently overlooks Donald Trump and the rest of his cabal. Instead, by attacking Democrats from the "left" she gets to punch her ticket like Cornel West, Susan Sarandon, Jill Stein, etc., who will get rewarded with facetime and Russian troll retweets for such an attack. Perhaps she will now be featured on Glenn Greenwald. Perhaps even RT. Or, she might even score a feature collaboration with the Sane Progressive, who attacks Democrats and defends Trump and Russia from the "left":

My point is watch for opportunists who will suddenly get noticed, featured, and rewarded for offering friendly fire from the left. It happened in the 2016 elections. In the 2018 elections, its just a matter of time before a whole cottage industry arises to blame Democrats and independents like Bernie Sanders and Angus King for the Republican tax bill and the persecution of immigrants. They will ask if Bernie Sanders, Corey Booker, Elizabeth Warren, etc. really wanted to stop the tax bill, why didn't they?
Yet, in order to skim ratings, so-called "liberal" media will feature them like they did Cornel West, Jill Stein and Susan Sarandon.
So, congratulations Sairo Ro. You have the Susan Sarandon's more progressive than thou award for this week. Perhaps you can score a column on Brietbart.

I realize now that the love has been one-sided, unrequited. You’ve never recognized me, as a brown woman. You’ve taken my love, my money, my tokenism, with nary anything in return. You married the white woman and hooked up with me on the side.
Black Lives Matter is a second ― or third ― thought. Where is your outrage over the national epidemic of police brutality against black people? You continue to call angry white men who commit mass murder “lone wolves.” But if someone who looks like me screams “Allah” and fires a gun, it’s “terrorism.” And you wonder why angry white men are gunning down innocent brown men at bars, in their yards, on the street.
For all your talk about Dreamers, there’s been little action. You don’t seem to give a crap about kids of color who will be kicked out of this country, the only country they know. What if all those Dreamers were white? I suspect there’d be a very different outcome.
You spend a lot of time and energy wooing white voters, while giving short shrift to voters of colors and assuming we’ll always show up for you.
