In reply to the discussion: 33% of Bernie Sanders Supporters Won't Back Hillary in the General [View all]TrueDemVA
(250 posts)I voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012, Kerry in 2004 and Gore in 2000. I have always voted Democrat. This year is no different, that's why I am voting for the only person that represents what the Democratic Party stands for, Bernie Sanders. With all of that being said, I will not vote for Hillary and that is my choice whether you agree with it or not.
I don't feel like my vote should go towards someone who hasn't guaranteed to protect and strengthen social security, who doesn't want to fight for single payer insurance, who continues to hold private fundraisers for the elite only, who voting for an awful war, someone who feels glass steagall is not needed, someone who continues to take money from the private prison industry along with many other scumbag donors, etc. The list can keep going, but I think you get the picture.
The establishment needs to go.
