I changed my party affiliation to Independent today
I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, it left me.
I cannot and will not support corporatism and conservatism, even if it is Democrats that do it.
The Democratic Party is moving further to the right as the Republican Party goes off the deep end. The villains are corrupting the heroes.
You are not just getting Hillary, You are getting Wall Street, Walmart, McDonalds, KeystoneXL, Fracking, Private Prisons and every other corporation and corporate interest that is backing the Democratic candidate this year.
Corporations don’t donate because they like her, it’s because they know she’ll play ball. To corporations, it’s not a donation, it’s an investment. They expect a return on their investment and I’m sure they’ll get one.
Have fun with your new friends!
I don’t believe in liberalism and progressivism because I’m a Democrat, I am a Democrat because I believe in liberalism and progressivism.
If the Democratic Party no longer stands for these things, I no longer stand with them.
DailyKos can and probably will ban me, but I don’t care.
I would rather go down fighting for what I believe in than stick around pretending to be something else.
