This primary is for not only the Democratic party's future

but Americas future. If we continue to go along with the completely unacceptable, and incredibly destructive, move to the right by our party, then we deserve what we get.

No we don't need another corporatist shill waltzing into the whitehouse with Wall Street in tow. Exactly how many times do we need to fall for the same old shell game?

Yes, it's scary. If Hillary wins and we don't vote for her, someone like Trump could gain the Whitehouse. But if we continue to capitulate to that fear we'll never have a true alternative to the current corporate death grip on our country's media and political structure.

At some point enough will have to be enough. For me that point is now.
