Tonight is the night I leave the Democratic Party and Democratic Underground

247. You sound way too much like Rush and Mitch

"And I hope that somewhere down the line the negativity and lies you've endorsed destroys the country."... WOW! I can't ever remember having a thought like that, even in the throes of my despair during the cheney/bush cabal years. Think about that...I hope the country IS DESTROYED so that I might be proven correct back in the primary election of 2016. What a selfish and narcissistic sentiment. It is straight out of the nihilistic playbook of Rush and Mitch McConnell, literally rooting for our President, and thus, the Nation, to fail so that their personal policy positions are ultimately judged to be superior. Literally gross.
I get it. You don't like Hillary. Like me, you feel like nominating a Clinton 30 years later is a monumental failure of imagination on the part of the Democratic Party. No Shit. Hillary's campaign annoyed the shit out of me during 2008, as we Obama workers/volunteers felt probably the same feelings you're having now about Bernie. As much as I held Hillary in disdain in 2008, I was prepared to vote for her against McCain/Palin. Since then she has impressed the hell out of me. The Iran deal is way more hers, than Kerry's, as she laid all the ground work for the brutal sanctions we imposed to get them to the table.
Let me tell you how this works. Go back to the year 2000. Many, many well-intentioned and intelligent voters made the determination that there was no difference between the republican and Democratic parties. They were all corporate shills cut from the same cloth. The ralph nader people had nothing but contempt for Al Gore. To them, Al was a centrist corporate politician. Now, it didn't help that Al ran away from Bill Clinton (because of the blowie) or picked that embarrassment, Lieberman. Gore won the national popular vote by over 1,000,000 votes. He lost the election because far-left voters abandoned the party because they were convinced there was no difference between Al Gore and George W. Bush, and wasted millions of votes on Nader. Does anybody now feel like a Gore presidency would have been a little different than a Cheney/Bush presidency?!
Don't let your passion for your candidate who you might legitimately feel is superior, stop you from doing what is best for the common good. Having a temper tantrum and allowing trump or cruz to win is unacceptable. Please check yourself.
