With all of the unity messaging coming from the DNC and supporters of Hillary, I just feel like I'm being asked to support someone who I am morally against. It's the environment and preponderance for war, for me. I cannot and will not support any candidate who comes out on the side of further fossil fuel extraction, and I can't support someone who voted for one of the most blunderous chosen wars we've ever engaged in. It's just that simple. I feel like a huge portion of the DNC is truly conservative, as compared to the Progressives who support Sanders. And I'm so sick of being called an idiot or traitor here on DU for not being willing to go against the things I firmly believe in to support someone who does not share my values. Why should I be coerced into voting for Hillary, when I believe she won't be any better, really, than a Republican?
I have a bad feeling about this fall. I think we're likely to end up with Trump, or even wory, Cruz. A large portion of us Sanders supporters will likely sit this one out. I think that Hillary supporters are very happy about seeing the first female president. I'm just sad because we'll see more fracking, and more unrestrained greed on Wall Street.
