but I'm not going to play party games either, no matter who is leading the charge.

Last night I chatted with someone about that in one of the threads. She places democratic party loyalty above all else (imo). To me both parties have largely become marketing campaigns for respective billionaires.

I won't be part of that. As I told her - I took an online quiz and my agreement with the candidates are as follows: 98% agreement with Bernie on issues, 74% Hillary, 52% Jeb, 0% Ted Cruz (that last one is just funny - and true).

I am advocating, donating, and voting based on that.

Party? Pfft. I think I might feel differently if someone like Ted Kennedy were still alive and leading. But the party today has sold us out too many times. To win me back I want to see support for everyday Americans - not the hedge funds.
