(48,966 posts)coming out. I feel that way a lot. But I've never missed an election yet. I can't.
Even if I wanted to I won't stay home and I'm not about to vote for a republican.
But it's a damn disgrace that one has to hold their nose to vote for the Democrat because they have so much in common with the fucking republicans. People are hurting, they have been for years. Whens the last time Obama gave a flying fuck about the poor? You think Hillary ( and I love and respect her for most of what she has done )gives a fuck about the poor? Meanwhile our middle class in sliding down into the poor class. Where the fuck are the poor going? This can not continue, the banks and wall street may be fine and the middle class may have the credit cards to stay treading water but the rest of us? We get more of the same we are fucked. People are at the end of their ropes and guess what? There's no knot to hold on to.
We can do better, we deserve better and the only way to do it is to hold the Democrats accountable and if that means they don't get someones vote because they can't bring themselves to go against their values and morals and vote for that Democrats well I am sure as hell not going to criticize them. I will hold that Democrat who thinks they don't have to earn that vote accountable, not the person using the only voice they have.
