99. I have to admit, I am pretty much done with the whole thing. I am no longer a Democrat. That does

not mean I will never vote Democratic again. If there is a progressive Democratic candidate to vote for I will vote Democratic. I have voted straight Democratic ticket for 19 years and have seen nothing but bad things economically in those 19 years. There have been times I have held my nose and been a good Democrat and did what I was told do, but no. I can't do it anymore. I consider myself a Socialist Independent now. If a Democrat wants my vote, they have to earn it. I will not simply vote for someone just because they are a Democrat. I don't think those that vote Democratic are out to get me, but it sure seems like the ones who do vote straight Democrat think I am out to get them if I don't vote the way they tell me to. Is that really they way it is suppose to work? It doesn't seem right to me. I am not out to get anybody. I simply have certain beliefs and want to vote for a candidate that aligns with my beliefs. For some social issues such as women's rights are their top reason for voting. For others, it is Supreme Court nominations. For me, it is economics. The middle class is disappearing. Those who used to be in the middle class are now either upper low income, low income, or below the poverty line. I don't want my children to be poverty stricken. That is my main reason for voting, and that is why I will only vote for a progressive candidate. So, am I one of the ones that says I won't vote for Hillary? Yes I am. Because I simply don't believe she will fight for economic equality. That's it. It's that simple. I'm not out to get anybody. I just want my children to have an education and a good paying job. Is that such an evil thing?
