... but I can kind of see the parallels. I can't see supporting a democratic party that is taking on all the qualities of republicans. I know people want to "belong" to a group and will defend that group as being the essence of all that is good and right, but to do so is to ignore the reality of what is actually happening. Being willing to look at the party critically and being willing to criticise it is a hard path to take but a necessary one.

I agree with Bernie's message: we can't keep going in this direction where income is going to the top. That is destroying the foundation where the rich make their money, so it's even in their interests to stop it, but their psychopathy often overrides the more beneficial approach. Hillary supports them. The people supporting Hillary are supporting the very phychopathic behavior that is damaging us all.
