If Sanders isn't the nominee I am going to leave the party and become an independent. I've been a Democrat my entire adult life but I cannot continue to support the party's neo-liberal third-way policies. This election is the last straw for me. I've been voting for the lesser of evils for 25 years and the country and the world is going to hell in a hand basket From now on they'll have to earn my vote and support. No more of this lesser of evils BS that we've had rammed down our throats for the last 25 years.
