This has also killed my membership in the Democratic Party, since the Democratic Party now embraces war and fracking and the TPP and cluster bombs and secretive lying. Just to name a few things I find revolting.

Trump has not backed me into a corner where I feel I have to vote for a Third Way warmonger. I will just drive to the local elections office and put an end to being affiliated with things I despise.
