2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I've gotta say this. [View all]I became involved in politics the year Bobby Kennedy ran for President. I've voted democratic ever since and almost always based on the theory of the lesser of two evils as I've watched our party get drawn further and further to the right. Enough is enough. I'm not sold on Bernie but he seems to be the closest thing to hope I've seen in a mighty long time. I will no longer support corruption with my vote. Lesser of two evils theory be damned, it doesn't work. Look where we're at! Look at the choices we have! This doesn't work.
I don't know where I'm going, but I'm almost sure at this point it won't be the Democratic party. There has to be some peaceful way to take back our government and that's the only thing I'm willing to work for now.
I've been a member here a long time though I rarely post. I DO read here several times a day. My thanks to Skinner for this site, it kept me sane during the Bush administration. I'll see myself out the door.
