119. The Democratic Party seems to no longer represents me, by pushing the ultimate corporate candidate

Thu Nov 26, 2015, 11:47 AM

Nov 2015

She is a DINO, the most powerful I've seen in my life. She's taking our party down & I will have no part of it.

If she is our nom, I will be voting Green Party Jill Stein & will remain with the Green Party until such time The Democrats begin working for the People of the US again & not Moneyed Interests.

All of my efforts will be towards getting $$ out of our govt.

Every problem this country has can be traced to corruption in the govt....no I will not vote for the Queen of Moneyed Corruption.
