53. This isn't rooting for your favorite football team.

This is about undoing terrible harm that has been done by both Democrats and Republicans alike.

This is about ideology and what your party and politicians represent. If either party pursues an agenda that benefits a very small group at the expense of almost everyone else, than neither party represents me.

But to really get to the point, I am not abandoning the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party has abandoned me. My mission runs deeper than just being a Democrat. My mission is to help others that think likewise, to take our Democratic Party back.

Now excuse my while I get back to ripping into the thieves that stole it.
