Clinton's Lead Over Trump Shrinks to 3 Points: New NBC News/WSJ Poll

98. Simply put....Sander's poll's better against Trump and that includes Independents..

I left the Democratic party and became an Independent.. It had nothing to do with a badge of honor.. It became clear that the Dem. party no longer reflected the FDR populist values that I valued. I switched parties to vote for Sanders.

You're making a huge mistake to cynically trivialize the reason so many people have left the Democratic party over the last thirty years. along with no longer attracting the 30 and under vote. Thats the canary in the mineshaft my friend.. The two major parties in this country now barely make up half the population.. The majority of the public is choosing either to not be identified with either party, or simply not to vote at all.

The fact is, and this is reflected in the Princeton study a couple of years back, our system of government has degenerated into a government that ignores the welfare of the poor and middle class. We're currently living in an Oligarchy. And the current Democratic party establishment has not only stood by and allowed it to happen they've helped it along..
