“I am an ordinary voter living far from the Beltway who feels gaslighted by our political and media establishments”
Then you aren’t really a Democrat; are you? Not for long, anyway.

These people tend to look for where and who is buttering their bread.
For a so-called honest/any democrat to question the party line is like Salman Rusdie publishing “The Satanic Verses”.
It comes with death threats and a destruction that few are prepared for.
"If you are not a liberal at twenty, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at forty, you have no brain.

“Then you aren’t really a Democrat; are you? Not for long, anyway.”
I bet she is, which is what’s refreshing. She probably believes in gay marriage, abortion, government run healthcare, etc.
With those beliefs, she fits the definition of Democrat, and still agrees with them on those core issues. What she cannot take is her party not even talking about them, or fighting about them, but instead harping on Trump. It will be tough for her to pull the lever for the Democrats in November, even though she probably has all her life, until now. She’ll just sit it out.
This is a VERY GOOD SIGN.
