From my perspective I joined thirty nine years ago, a party I believed in and so gave my loyalty, It was the party of The New Deal, The Great Society and at the time I joined also the party of civil liberty, equal rights and a war against poverty. I saw clearly in 2016 that what it had devolved into was nothing like the party I joined. The question of my loyalty then became murky. My thoughts and vision since have grown clear, "what was, no longer is", and if such ever exists again it likely will not become manifest or reborn anew in the party I once joined so long ago.
