I'm working for policies and reform, not to elect whatever center-right (or even center-left, as many insist Hillary is) corporatist puts a D after their name. The policies I support are the policies our party supposedly supports, but doesn't. It isn't my fault if the party chooses a candidate that doesn't believe what so many of us believe, and who supports policies that only get us deeper into the abyss we find ourselves in.
There are a number of movements building at this moment. Some of them are new parties, some are strategies to leverage the Democratic Party back to representing the people. I don't know what will emerge, or what form it will take, we will see. There's still a little hope of Bernie being the nominee so at the moment all my energy is going to that.
Please don't twist my words re differences between the two parties. I said there are substantial differences. The problem is, the differences are mostly in the less urgent areas. We really are up against it re climate change, it's not a joke and it's not hair-on-fire to recognize the urgency of it. So our party is attempting to nominate a huge supporter of fracking who has taken a lot of money from fossil fuel interests, and who sees the largest threat to our nation as Russia (IIRC) rather than as climate change. Fail. Same with banks, regime change, actual wars, prisons, marijuana, police state, surveillance, you name it, she's on the wrong side of it.
Sorry you don't see it this way, and I wish it was not the situation.
