This is my open letter to the Democratic Party - I am a conscientious objector.

[Baobab]

I do not believe in war as a means of solving problems.

My religious and moral beliefs will not allow me to cast a vote for Hillary Clinton under any circumstances whatsoever as I believe she is the candidate of the war machine.

If she is nominated I will vote for a third party candidate.

I will not vote for war hawk Hillary.

1. Then you won't be voting for Bernie Sanders either...

Sanders supported military intervention in Kosovo.

Sanders supported the 1998 Senate resolution on regime change in Iraq

Sanders co-sponsored the 2011 Senate resolution calling for regime change in Libya.

Sanders has supported military spending bills, including funds for the F-35.

4. NYT considers her to be the most hawkish person in the government

Or so it seemed to me from their recent article.

7. There is a difference between supporting regime change and supporting war

to achieve regime change. The 1998 Senate resolution to which you refer explicitly says that it is not an authorization for the use of American military force. And, unlike Clinton,Sanders adamantly opposed the use of military force to achieve regime change in Iraq when that was the issue in 2002. But you knew that.

The dishonesty on this from Hillary supporters never stops.

2. Narcissism and faux purity are generally selfish emotions IMO.

[Baobab]

6. The kind of narcissism I was talking about is an affective disorder, its not an emotion.

A little bit of narcissistic behavior is normal, but people with NPD basically do not develop empathy as normal people do, when they are around six, something blocks it.

So they have no moral compass. Also, a certain crucial part of them is forever trapped at the emotional level of a six year old. So everything is basically tit for tt. You do this, I do that. They dont have any inner voice saying that its wrong to XXXXXXXXX. Its absent.

See this web page:

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) : How to Recognize a Narcissist

That's what I think Hillary has.

3. You need to stop paying your taxes NOW!

I don't have proof, but somehow I think our taxes fuel the 'war machine.'

5. We'll miss you.

Actually, no we won't.

8. Funny how the Hil supporters responding here...

still believe that they can win over Bernie supporters with ridicule and insults. They don't really care if they convince anyone of their case, all they want is to score a cheep shot, a clever zinger, so they can pat themselves on the back and tell themselves how smart they are.

9. i hate to disparage an entire city, but...
