I will ALWAYS vote, don't get me wrong.

But I will vote for the candidate that I think is the best person for the job and who's values and policy ideas align best with mine.

I was hoping to vote for Sanders in the GE.

If HRC is the closest I can find to my views, then I'll vote for her. If not, then not.

Though, I just don't see the best person in the race being the one who is against single payer healthcare, who sends her campaign surrogates out to say that higher education isn't a right but is a privilege for those that are rich, like them, and can afford it and certainly someone as hawkish as HRC who voted for wars.

No, I WILL vote and I'll vote for the best candidate. I just don't see that being HRC at the moment.

I have a LOT of research to do.
