42. Fine. Great.
I have no idea where dying for my country comes into play here, but I'm gratified that a bona fide VV would respond to my post however angrily. While I couldn't qualify for military service my father, my brothers and my first cousins all served. My dad was a twice-wounded Marine (SS-2PH). My first cousin is still standing guard at a shitty outpost near Tikrit as I type this. So yeah, military service kinda matters to me.

I don't expect you to vote against your will. Read the post again - preferably when you're a little less irritated - and tell me again where I tell you to surrender your will.

Let me be crystal clear: I do not urge to vote for Hillary Clinton; I do urge you to vote against Republicanism. With great enough numbers, it's unlikely the Republicans can get by with stealing another General Election and will be forced to slink away for another four years. It's simple pragmatism.

As for what is to become of the Democratic party, I don't know. I hope that by becoming active - and by pissing off a few people with my opinions - I will play some small part in reshaping it.
