see themselves as the entire party and spend a whole lot of time talking about the "far, far left".

I tire of being told that anyone who supports Warren or Sanders are so far left as to not even "really" be part of the party.

And so, I snap at people sometimes. I'm sick to death of hearing that only "moderates" or "centrists" matter and the rest of us are just supposed to accept being the red-headed stepchild of the party most of us have been part of since we were able to cast our first ballot.

And yet, you still win, because we literally have no where else to go. So, I guess I just need to suck it up and realize that life never will actually improve, because positive change happens in such tiny increments as to be nonexistent in most cases.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
