291. Feeling similar

Jun 2016

Last straw. Considering becoming an Independent after all these years. If there are no fundamental changes to the system, I won't be participating in elections again period. Totally disgusted by it all.

It wouldn't make sense to come here and lock horns with people since I can't say anything good about Hillary, especially after this so-called primary. This is a well-funded coronation--and that's not Democracy.
So I will not be participating in an active way. Can't support or work for a candidate I don't believe in.
Can't support a sham system any longer. I will only work for candidates with Bernie's platform. Candidates who KNOW something is rotten in Denmark and will actually work to undertake a change of course.

DU has been a good site in the past. And I wish everyone here all the best.
