Showing Original Post only (View all)Fine. I'll say it. I won't vote for HIllary if she's the nominee. [View all]
and yeah, I'll gladly leave DU for the duration.
I think she's a despicable opportunist, dishonest, a big supporter of the military industrial complex and much more. Almost all of it counter to the democratic ideals I believe in. I couldn't vote for her and remain true to my beliefs. And yes, I do think the Supreme Court is important, but I cannot support Hillary.
End of story.
