At this time in my life (I'm a senior), I no longer feel like a democrat. They left me years ago and I mistakenly believed Barack Obama would right the ship. It only took a few months for me to recognize he was nothing close to the answer. He did some good things; better than a republican would have. But his pro-corporate cabinet and his trade agenda lost me. I live in Washington and both my lady senators voted to support the trade deal. So now I have no one in my district that represents my interests.

Maybe having a Republican president would screw up this country so badly, a real breed of liberals would gain a stronghold after the damage and dust settles. But I cannot vote for Hillary because I know what she will do to damage this country further. So I'm committed to Bernie, even as a write-in if he loses the primary.
