How about you look on the Clinton board and pick a poster or two whose posts you like and send them a personal message? Try to have a private chat with them.

...and UNBOUGHT by special interests.

That's my take.

Look at the candidates and decide which is the best and vote. There will be another election for Congress ins 2 years and for the White House in Four. If your candidate doesn't meet with your expectations, vote for someone else next time.

the differences are night day. In the general, if the wrong candidate wins the primary, it is a "lesser or two evils" problems not a "which is best". The problem between the lesser of two evils means you are still picking evil, and that has a moral consequence that too many here dismiss as inconsequential.

but am sticking to my convictions, which simply enrages some people.

I have had a conversation with a number of other Dems who cannot understand my refusal to be "pragmatic", but there are just some VERY bright lines you do not cross.

Please repost in the correct forum, GDP.
