Democratic Party has opened up my eyes to and I'm someone who's eyes were already opened when it came to corporatism. But I've been opened to more dishonesty than I imagined. I have little faith already living in a heavily gerrymandered state since 2010 (after the state has been ruled by Democrats for 100 years). It bears no resemblance (the state or party I spent my life growing up in). Whenever we win, we still get little or nothing we seek and the party love too much putting us in our place than listening to us. I'm getting the beat over my head message loud and clear now and I really don't have to hit over the head anymore or put up with lies about me by no one. Just FYI. I will still work for justice for the American people despite the odds, just not the way I used to. I'm nobody's fool. I knew the primaries would be rough this time around but I still didn't know how far beyond the pale. Wish my sons could live out the rest of their lives somewhere else but it's in the cards, so to speak, they cannot live lives in an as comfortable fashion as I did and for that, I cannot forgive. And for them, I refuse to give in so at least I will die for a purpose of endeavor if nothing else. Good evening DU and see you soon.

late nineties. At least none of them were ill...their hearts just stopped. When I really Got That, was when I though...what am I going to do for the next 30 years? Bingo just doesn't cut it...LOL.
