81. A Democratic party that continues to give a big "fuck-you" to the citizens needs to go...
And the presence of a few good guys in the party isn't a good enough reason to prop it up - a few good guys can't do a damned thing. Either they can get things done as a group, or they can't, and this party clearly can't. And they can't because they don't want to; they no longer work for us.

I despised Richard Nixon and his corporate party in the 60s, and I see no reason to support a corporate party today. The Democratic party is comprised of a bunch of corporatists who hijacked the brand name of the once-great party of FDR, and a brand name sure as hell isn't sufficient reason to support them. Being a smidgen better than the Republican party isn't a sufficient reason either.

I'll be voting third party for the duration. The bastards sold us out.
