I left the Republicans because they went Bat shit crazy (And this thing called the internet came out that let me figure that out.)

Then I became an Independent.

Then I registered as a D to Caucus for Obama against Hillary in Nevada.

Now I don't know what to do. If Sanders wins, I will stay a D and hope we can change the party.

IF not, then I think we need to form a New Democratic Socialists party.

Because if Sanders loses it will be because the Democratic Party completely worked against the best interests of its members.

There hasn't been anyone on the Democratic side that epitomizes better what we should all strive to be more than Senator Sanders.

Yeah, I am a PUMA, FUCK party loyalty, that is what let the Republicans decay to the point where Trump is their nominee, we can't let that type of corruption continue in the only other currently viable party.

After reading this thread and seeing some of my post I realized I dropped the F bomb quite a bit.

I am Italian, from NJ. We used fuck as both an exclamation point, a comma and many other things in between. Smile

I cleaned it up, but then went to work for the DOC where nobody pays attention to anything you say unless there is a fuck in there somewhere (and usually the sound of a racking shotgun, lol!)

Anyway I hope I didn't fucking offend anyone. Wink

Thanks again for joining me, just trying to get up answering any posts I may have missed while finishing up this bottle of wine.

It's a great night to be a Sanderista!

I predicted some weeks ago that if that woman wins the Dem primary that she loses the general.

The Dem Party in all of it's corrupt glory has made a big mistake by attempting to coronate someone that brings out such hatred in a majority of the voting citizenry! Ramming her down our throats is only making some of us more convinced than ever to not vote for her under any circumstances.

Bernie has to win this thing or we are in deep doodoo with either a penis obsessed psycho or a corrupt, lying puppet in the White House.

that Hillary Clinton "misunderstood the electorate" in MI. MI and OH were both hard-hit by trade agreements like NAFTA. This win could bode well for Sanders in OH as well unless the Clinton campaign does some fast retooling of their message.

And I was fearful the distinction between the multiple votes was completely lost. A rude, disingenuous argument to trot out. That is what desperation will do to some. But true to form for Sec. Clinton sadly. People are seeing through it and saying no thanks.
