only choice in this upcoming presidential sweepstakes, it WILL BE A WASTED VOTE. No matter the RW side being full of racist dangerous idealogues who have fooled the millions in a dumbed down populace who have willfully allowed their dumbing down. Having only a candidate like HRC is a frustrating and futile exercise of my 'voting right'. She is a candidate that is truly 180 degrees opposite of the way I feel about the genocide in Gaza, Bibi and Likud, NAFTA, Glass-Steagall repeal, the major misery caused to millions of people with hubby's "reform" of help for the poor. No! E. Warren nor Bernie, even if the chose to, would not be allowed to mount a major challenge to HRC. Period.

I've been struggling lately with my 'democratic/progressive principles versus the principles the Democratic Party have adopted to be able to contend with the fascist, racist RW Party that has finally shown it's true colors and ALL of it's adherents to those colors in this country. This adoption process has been going on since Nixon's 'southern strategy' was so very successful.

I had to fight to be able to vote in this country as a then 'Negro'. I am now, 42 years later, at the point where I am ready to choose to withdraw from this corrupt and money tainted voting process. My vote, because of corporate power and influence, the electoral college and various state SOS has become meaningless. And that is because of my 'vote' which doesn't really count being used by the PTB to show my enabling of the continued decline of our 'democracy' into the racist and fascist corporate run society that is being put into place as I write. Why should I vote when neither political party has the masses or my personal welfare as a guiding principle anymore.

The bush Patriot Act was the first overt sign of our rights being stripped with dems like HRC backing these laws and backing a war based on lies. Yeah, yeah I know, she has said that was a mistake. That was only because of her desire to run for the office of 'President' in 2016. A thinking politician would not have voted that way. The proof of this statement is the politicians who voted against that 'war' of which there were a pitiful few.

I am sure that flak will be thrown my way because of the stand I am taking. Nonetheless this is where I'll make my stand against the corruption and lies of our political process. My vote DOES NOT matter in this current system no matter the lies that it does.
