And I won't vote for Hillary should she get the nomination.
Why?
I didn't have to and they are both much too corporate/Wall St. friendly for this FDR Democrat.
I live in solid Blue California and not a swing state.
Having said this; if I lived in a swing state you're damn right I would vote for her!
The alternative would be unbearable for our country.
We can't always get what we want and I'm aware of that.
It would be childish to allow a Republican to get into the Whitehouse...and a disaster.

(4,176 posts)But what else can you do!
I wish we had actual liberal politicians to vote for, other than Bernie, that arent by necessity too closely linked to Wall Street, but the Democratic Party felt it had to do that back when in order to survive.
Wrong then, wrong now.
And they count on the alternative being so bad that they wont have to change.

(149,702 posts)I think there are many folks who agree with you.
I did vote for Obama, both times, although I was holding my nose the second time. He did not live up to his promise.
But: I am done holding my nose.
I haven't decided what to do if Hillary gets the nom. I sure do agree with your views on how friendly she is towards corporations/Wall St.
And I also agree about what would transpire if a Republican got into the White House.
It's a mess, any way you look at it.
