Email to DNC:

I have been voting mostly as a Democrat for more than 40 years and donated over $700 to Obama Campaign.

That all ends today. The NV Convention is the last straw.

The Democrats would rather lose the general with the liar and cheater-in-chief, Hillary Clinton, than win with an honest man-of-the-people, even if they have to steal the votes of a convention to get the Queen of Corruption nominated.

This lying cheating undemocratic political party no longer deserves my support. And neither does any candidate who would run on the ticket of such a corrupt party.

My vote for Bernie in the Texas primary will go down on record as my last EVER vote for anyone running on the ticket of the undemocratic "Democratic" Party.

I am now an Independent Voter and have joined a rapidly growing segment of the voting population in proclaiming myself as such.

I may only be online once a week or so for awhile, but I'll get internet back sometime soon.
See you all when I can.

This is a gentle rant with the purpose of making c99% more readable:
1. Illustrations so big they take over essays and bleed right to new essay list should be trimmed, for the sake of readability.
2. Acronyms are rampant on this site. I know maybe 5% of them and other readers might have the same problem. For the purpose of clarity, could essayists either stop using them, keep them to a minimum, or will OPOL please provide a list that readers can refer to?

Note: An earlier version of this essay was originally written in response to comments by Hillary-supporting friends on Facebook.
