Trying to smear Sanders and his work on civil rights to get Clinton elected. I have zero respect for these people and I don't care one bit what they've accomplished. They've lost my respect by being liars. They've also lost my vote for being no different than the Republicans

If they're going to lie, smear, and slander another Democrat they're no better than the Republicans they hate. That's exactly what our party has done to Bernie. Lie, slander, and smear. All to protect a corrupt and broken system.

Add in that they're protecting someone who's beholden to the crooks who stole so many lives in 2008 and you can see why so many people are pissed at the Democratic Party.
