Kevin,
Welcome back. As you will see from a few of my current posts, I feel
precisely as you do.
Miriam

I was subscribed to this group many moons ago. I rejoined today because, to
be glunt, I've had it. I can't just play nice within the system and hope it
gets better anymore. I was hoping Obama would be the progressive I thought
he was, but he never really was. Sure, he was probably better than the
alternative, but at this point that isn't saying a whole lot. Now it's
looking more and more like we're going to be faced with a choice of really,
really bad and unthinkable come November. I've already made the decision
that I am not going to go with the lesser of two evils. Not this time. Not
anymore. For the past year I've seen the media, along with the DNC, try and
run Bernie Sanders out of the race. Despite this, he's still hanging on, and
I'm with him to the bitter end. In my humble opinion, he offers the best
hope this country has had for change in a very long time, and unlike with
Obama he is the real deal. He has spent nearly 40 years proving himself.
Hillary, on the other hand, pretty much blows with the political wind. She
appears to be just another corporate shill who will say and/or do anything
to get elected. We've had more than enough of that. I'm not delusional; I
know the powers that be will continue to do whatever they can to make sure
Hillary gets nominated, and they will almost certainly succeed. In that
event, I will either vote for Jill Stein or write in Bernie. I feel no
allegiance to the Democratic Party. They have broken my trust. Anyway, sorry
for the rant. I just needed to be in a group of individuals who just might
understand where I'm coming from. Living in a red state (Indiana) can be
very disheartening sometimes.
