It's official-the MSM has chosen our candidate & my California vote won't matter |
|
I have given up the notion that I am living in a democracy.
With little media coverage given to Edwards (and Kucinich) I feel the MSM has contributed entirely to Edwards dropping out.
If the early primaries are used to eliminate candidates then why even hold the other primaries. My vote from California will not make a bit of a difference since both of my choices have now dropped out.
I am beyond disgusted and without hope for any significant changes for my country.
signed more than "fed-up"

1. I got used to this game in 04... when I was 100% for Kucinich... |
|
so this isn't such a shock...
I'm still voting for Edwards in the primary, to hopefully get him some more delegates.

At least we have a voice this year, unlike every other year.
I know your guy is out, but examine the other two candidates and try to realign your vote to helping the person you think comes closest to Edwards mission of stopping the corprotacracy from staying in control of the country.

5. When has your California primary vote EVER mattered? |
|
I've lived here for decades - I don't think we've ever had an impact.
If it's very important to you, move to Iowa.

6. If it's any consolation at all, I totally know what it feels like. I had Clark in 04. |
|
All I can really do is say. :hug:
Sometimes it just sucks.

This sucks so bad. If it was a primary, I might vote, but I can't publicly give my support to either Obama or Hillary now -- it's too soon.

9. I will be voting in the Feb 5th California primary for Edwards |
|
My vote is a message that I want Edwards' agenda adopted by the Democratic party.
