And allow Trump to become King of the USA.... nice move.... perhaps you are my age or close to it and close to retirement, where my only worry will be will my pension and SS be all I need. I personally am not worried about some things happening in our country, but still support the future for my kids and their future kids. Gay marriage, abortion rights, Obamacare are causes i support, yet will not effect me in my life. Not to say theses are not significant causes, they are, but hearing the GOP's talking points on privatization of Social Security, the reduction of medicare, raising the retirement age to 70... these will effect me, and I see these thing happening with Trump or any other GOP right wing president and congress.

It's safe to say this election cycle is the cycle that I default back to Independent, and wait for something I can actually believe in, instead of the incrementalism that has been killing my family and the people I love for the past sixteen years.

/bye.
