Especially with people such as your friends who are such supporters.

Maybe we should start teaching your brand of Government in schools? You know, while were are discussing Dictatorships and Totalitarian governments and how they work.

May be true? Anyway, I left the Democratic Party yesterday so I am no longer obligated to support political and economic corruption.
Good luck being an independent I guess?

Exactly is a thinly veiled attempt at swinging voters to Trump. There was no fraud, absolutely nothing to be outraged about.

WTF? You dont care about corruption, a tiny elite rigging the election, rigging the economy, causing massive despair, poverty (notice how poverty is never mentioned in our elections???) and human suffering? And people who object to this "make a stink?". Whats wrong with you? They dont care about you, why do you care so much about them to defend them?

Hecate...you really are clueless. I have never declared myself to be a right winger and in fact am not. I am a gay man who uses his brain to decide what to think instead of being brainwashed by the agenda-driven media and I have many friends like myself. We may not all share the exact same beliefs, but we enjoying learning from each other. Not all of us live in the type of bubble that you find so comfortable for yourself. Just because you are resistant to learning from others doesn't mean the rest of us follow suit.

Not really. It's a not so thinly veiled attempt to discuss how thoroughly corrupt and polluted the Democratic Party had become. There is no discussion unless there are two sides, and I enjoy debating with those who embrace corruption in all forms. It makes the world interesting.

More to say on the merits of corruption?

If you can't make it in this country then its your own fault. There is more opportunity in American than in a lot of our allies. The job is to help people get there but not do the job for people.

It broke the camel's back. My wife and I changed out political affiliation last night and are no longer registered as Democrats. The first time for me in 47 years. The party is rotten to the core.
My wife was a much more faithful Democrat than me. She is done with them now too. What did it for her was Hillary taking up for Bernie's free State College thing. This will ruin public universities and anyone with a brain knows that. Hillary will say anything, cover up anything, kill anyone to get what she wants. The light is coming on for a lot of Democrats.

I was a Democrat for 47 years. I marched in Washington for Equal Rights for women and African-Americans rights. I campaigned for the Equal Rights Amendment in Illinois. I marched to protest the Vietnam War and to uphold justice for all. More than that, I fought in my workplace for equal employment access for all, and it cost me my job.

And now, the party that I helped to build had been ransacked by a bunch of corrupt politicos who only match for themselves. It can't be changed so I left.

And you're going to vote for them hook, line, and sinker. Crooked Hillary is Wasserman-Schultz's biggest fan.
