(46,436 posts)I'll most likely vote for Hillary, although she doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning here, and my vote, however I choose to cast it, will be meaningless, as it is in most presidential elections. So I can't see myself being enthusiastic other than in response to the fact that she's much better than any of the alternatives on the Republican side. If Bernie were the nominee, he would generate enthusiasm here, I know it, but Hillary not so much.
I'm getting old, and for the sake of my kids and grandkids, I'd like to see some more forward progress before I pass on to whatever is next. I'd like the peace of mind to know that there's hope for a more peaceful and tolerant future where people finally start caring for each other.
I'm an idealist, I know - it's a curse.
