Progressives who don't cotton to Hillary's financial and political ties to Goldman Sachs and Walmart are the ENEMY? I could understand having legitimate agreements with fellow Democrats, and Lord knows I do. But ENEMIES?

I think the many of the forces financing HRC are evil, but I don't buy into the tripe that she herself is. She isn't my enemy, she's a political opponent of my candidate Sen Bernie Sanders. I may not vote for her but she's not my enemy.

Remind me to stay off of your lawn too...

Your relevance is greatly exaggerated... as it's human nature to minimize the positive if we have nothing to offer. Hip disillusionment is almost is as trendy as overpriced coffee.

Democrats vote for Democrats for President and all other offices. People who don't aren't actually Democrats, really. And there it is.

But then, you're very open about the fact you're not a Democrat. I've actually never understood why you post here? Not saying you don't have a right to, but why would you?

I've been a registered Democrat since 1966. My state (WA) no longer registers by Party but I moved here and registered before that went in effect. And, we have a closed (beauty pageant) primary, that I just voted in. We also have open caucuses..

I post here for a lot of reasons. I'm interested in politics, it's entertaining, amusing, informative, and it beats working for a living.

Why do you post here?

Perhaps I have you confused with another poster. Your icon is very distinctive; I thought it was you. Apologies if not.

I post here for the same reasons you do. Also to support getting Democrats elected.

I couldn't agree more. Sitting at home and pouting only helps Trump. When Democrats get out and vote, republicans lose, and they know that. One of the reason we have so many damned trolls here in the last year or so is because they want to encourage people to NOT VOTE in November. Don't listen to the trolls, both parties are NOT the same, and Hillary is NOT the same as Trump.

They're just voting for a third party.

The two idiots who are presumed to be heading the two major tickets are criminally corrupt.

I actually didn't say out loud my choice in the primary. My Mom thinks I voted for Hillary and a friend working for Bernie thinks I voted for him. I will gladly vote for the Dem nominee in the fall.
