2016 Postmortem

(11,833 posts)I too felt that way about Barack Obama when he spoke at the Democratic National Convention. I'm a small letters democratic socialist & I'm most interested in the 'think globally act locally' way of living. Treating others how you like to be treated. From an intellectual standpoint I enjoy the executive level stuff. I like to 'kick the tires' so to speak, vetting each candidate completely.
I was emotionally invested in President Obama (and still am, I've always had his back). I'm glad that you can understand that for me, weighing all the various factors and not necessarily 'choosing a candidate' this time around, it's still a close call for me, and I'm waiting until the day of my vote in June to make my decision. I will most definitely vote in November as I feel republicans at every level of government deserve a sound ass-whipping.
