1. I know. So I wish everyone would stop with the nauseating "party unity" bullshit.

Sounds more and more clueless and stupid or disingenuous.

What she needs us for is to blame for not voting when she loses.

either Bernie or Hillary. They will vote for who ever goes up against Trump. Trump could win if Hillary doesn't get support from Sanders Supporters, but hey,... She just told us to fuck off... yeah that will inspire Sanders Supporters.

8. They told told me I'm not needed, when they kicked me out of the party via changing my affilation

(longstanding I might add) from Democrat TO UNAFFILIATED without my consent, nor any notification. I still have my card with the now meaningless D on it. (I live in a closed primary state)

OK, so they don't want me in the party anymore? Then I accept being fired, but that frees me up to vote for each slot on the ballot according to what they stand for and I shall vote the closest to my values in each.

I now, or should I say I will be continuing to, vet furiously ALL options for all slots local, I also know that since the party threw me out I am under no obligation anymore to go with my third choice in the GE and endure the sulfuric stench yet again for the somewhat lesser evil of the more demonic ideologies (Neo-con and Neo-Lib Are demonic politically).

So far, My first Preference is Bernie Sanders, My second Green (because the platform is closer to my values than) my third choice, a Neo-Con - Neo-Liberal combination that is Hillary Clinton, No Republican at all is in the running regarding voting my values.

All that being said, more simply stated, if I can't vote for Sanders, I will then vote Green, if I can't vote Green, I will leave that slot blank.

I didn't quit the party, the party quite literally fired me and kicked me out against my will. So they maybe should have thought twice before doing that because had I had my say in my primary choice, I likely would have voted lesser of two evils as usual. Until I was cast out, I was caught in a seemingly recursive time-loop of voting evil (how ever minor the lesser demon may have been).

They kicked me out of the party, but they also freed me from this delusion of lesser evilism that has led to voting after so many times , each with a further rightward shift, that now it appears doing so has become voting for Republican policies cloaked in Democratic wording by Republicans cloaked as Democrats.

It was a slow boil these past 37 years, but Hillary is far to the right of the first Republican I voted against so many years ago.

They only need their money and endless wars and in their hubris believe they only need the wealthy and a few brainwashed personality worshipers to win the GE and the presidency.

You are right Yui, She really doesn't need us at all....

So it is time to vote for the good rather than the evil, no matter how "lesser" they claim that evil to be, it still reeks of sulfer.

To those very few she does think she needs , that she counts on to win because she is somehow less evil, a 'minor' demon rather than one with more sulfur burning at it's alter -- a warning:


[center][font size="2"; color =" 8B0000"]One can vote lesser evil, be warned vote the lesser of two evils you might as well vote Cthulhu 2016[/font][/center]
Evil cannot be extinguished by evil, only consumed eventually by the greater evil and since Hillary is the lesser evil, she will be consumed and make even greater the great evil that is the immortal Deity!



[font size="4"; color="red"][center]Cthulhu 2016 [/center][/font]

because no matter which lesser evil you choose (if you choose evil at all) the greater evil will only consume it and run things anyway! Lets cut out the ceremonial middle-man (or woman) and get on with the inevitable destruction and mayhem!

Vote Cthulhu which is the greatest evil if you like evil at all, why not, he will only consume all lesser evils and run things regardless.

[font size="1"]They say that voting the lesser of two evils stops a greater evil and if one doesn't do so one is voting for the greater evil by allowing it to win.
I say the two are essentially the same as any evil however less, evil only enables the greater evil in the end.

So one might want to try voting for the good instead.

13. You were literally screwed by the party and I can understand how you would be pissed about it

I've said countless times as soon as Oregon counts the votes for the primary I will be changing my party affiliation to non-affiliated. If I get a call from either the DNC or the Hillary Clinton campaign they are going to regret it because I won't have any nice words to say to them.

What I will do is back progressive candidates by donating to them, especially for the Senate.

I pay about $60 a year so that my family can call me for free with a local Oregon number. I also teach, so my students can contact me as well.
