Anyone who votes for someone just because they belong to a certain party is part of the problem with this country. We've resigned ourselves to only vote for one of two people. One of two people that TPTB have chosen for us to choose between. That's just not good enough. The last 7 years have proven that. At a time when the country was ready for a real turn around, that momentum was squandered away, and I believe it was on purpose. If the Dems had really wanted to change things back to more of how they were before BushCo they would have tried to do so, but they didn't. Same old, same old, and in some cases worse than BushCo.
I don't know how we do it, but as long as voters are held hostage by the prospect/fear mongering of who gets to appoint people to SCOTUS - or until that time when the Dem Party has lost its way in Corporateland so far that it makes no difference any more - this country is just going to get worse and worse no matter what party is elected to office.
Even here in California, with Brown as Governor we have a huge fracking problem. WTF. If there's anywhere there should not be any fracking it's California.
I, for one, am sick of it and I'm not sure I will vote for president if Hillary is the nominee. Stating that one will vote for whoever the nominee is is more of a danger than not voting for the Dem nominee imo. It only gives TPTB no reason to provide us with anyone who is actually progressive on economic issues. Why should they? They know we will vote for one of their candidates anyway.
