For me this hits on a personal level as I have been a working-class county delegate at every state Democratic convention since 2016. My partner and I struggle to attend as working-class queer delegates to try and remind others in our caucus about the struggles of working-class Texans- especially those of us living on the border.

Ignoring the fact our convention was being held at one point in a hall named for a Republican, twelve dollar sandwiches to someone making less than than that in an hour is truly insult to injury. I'm not demanding that everyone drink Victory Gin or sing the Internationale, I just want our concerns to PLEASE be heard, which is hard when so few of us are willing to afford the time or the capital to be there for the fight.
