BOOM! Barbara Boxer: Hillary is a progressive EVERY day. Bernie is a Democrat "some days."

225. I strongly disagree.

I know the author of your linked article. I respect him but he and I have widely divergent views on HRC. He believes either candidate would be acceptable as the nominee, whereas I will never vote for her unless she becomes an actual progressive. Chris must have access to info I'm not aware of, because the Dem Party hasn't done shit in my region. The Bernie people have generated more enthusiasm than anyone in decades with the exception of Obama in 2008.

We are organizing for a long term progressive movement to act locally and regionally. Time will tell if we can be more effective than the Democrats. Of course we will align with them, but unless Bernie is the nominee, I see no rationale for any support or loyalty to the Democratic Party. I say that as a lifetime Democrat.

My contempt is for both political and personal reasons. I'm tired of the institutional racism, the lack of guts by candidates and the lack of a reality based platform. Personally, I am disgusted that the ACA has raised my taxes this year. I will have to pay a penalty this year because I can't afford health insurance. What a steaming pile of bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
