The democrats have been ...I agree with Roseanne. <br /><br />The democrats have been leaning so much to the right when it comes to policies that hurt the working class, public school system and the educators that I sometimes think they're truly republicans but are afraid to show their true party colors. Look at all the freaking Heavy Hearts in Albany who are dems and voted for a budget that was tied to a horrific teacher evaluation and has not stopped the testing mania. I can't tell you how disgusted I am with the dems. Another career political criminal,Shelly Silver, who's a dem just got sentenced to 12 years and he's not the only the only former political dem in prison. I think it's time to change my party affiliation to Independent because the democratic party train is off it's track. <br /><br />So people rather hold their nose. Go right a head because our country go through some form of devastation either death by hanging (Trump) or death by poison (Hillary). I will hold to true to being a Bernie Support.<br /><br />So here's I plan to vote in November:<br />If Bernie is nominated, yippee then he's a clear winner.<br />If Hillary is nominated (got nauseous), then I'll write in Bernie's name.<br />If there's no write in, then I'll vote for the Green Party.<br />If there's no Green Party on the ballot, then I won't vote. And it will be the first time in a very, very, very long time that I sit home.<br /><br />This is the year where I finally see that not only is our government is being controlled by the power of money but our union is nothing more than a spineless vehicle for the deformers. That seat at the table bullshit that not sway me anymore because the union's complicity with the deformers is obvious that our union leaders bring their own seat to the table. How many members will wake up to the BOLD TRUTH of this travesty by the powers to be not wanting to help the working class nor the educators in the nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-71776434969473303662016-04-29T07:02:49.390-04:002016-04-29T07:02:49.390-04:00Good point about inexperienced more supporters. No...Good point about inexperienced more supporters. No matter how hard I try to convince them they find it hard to believe when the numbers come up. They certainly are shocked at the low vote totals since everyone in their school told them they voted. No they didn't I tell them after the election. You assumed they did. Clearly most more people didn't do a Gotv campaign in their school and even if they did it might not make that much of a difference since so many people in general and especially union elections don't give a crap. ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-24157382976609110162016-04-28T22:42:15.866-04:002016-04-28T22:42:15.866-04:00Before u predict a Trump victory, heed Norms wisdo...Before u predict a Trump victory, heed Norms wisdom about intuitive pole taking. MORE supporters will be convinced of victory heading into election because "everyone " they talk to is voting for MORE. We tend to associate with a narrow slice of the ideological demographic.

Who else could have taken down 100 million dollar Jeb? I'll be voting for Jill Stein and my assemblyperson, but not for any other incumbents. It's fun to watch Trump, he's an underdog, but still a winner- it's hard not to root for him.<br />Another point, Bernie said that Hillary would have to win over his supporters, he couldn't just tell them what to do. That reminded me so much of when Karen Lewis said her members needed a day to read the contract before they voted on it.

Some are Bernie supporters and some just love Trump.<br />The reason Hillary won't get many of Bernie's supporters is they don't want an establishment candidate.

What if we hold our nose and vote for Trump? For the first time since I naively voted for Ronald Reagan at the age of 19 in 1984, I will be voting for the republican presidential candidate. After 1984 I voted democrat until I voted Green Party in 2012. But by 2016 my hatred for the Democratic Party (Obama and his RTT, Cuomo! and Hilary), has deep roots and I will now vote republican regardless of who it is until the democrats earn my vote back. My assemblyman whose record I approve of is the only democrat I have voted for since 2008. Hilary is a pro war corporate whore. And if that's the best the dems can present to me on election day then I'm going republican. At least they tell me upfront that they're going to f%#k me and 99% of the things I care about. Hilary, like Obama, is the handsome charming guy who promises you wine and roses and then slips you a roofie.

Hopefully, they are just venting over Bernie's loss. How rare is the priviledge of voting in a general election for a candidate that we just adore? Isn't it always a compromise, or a nose-hold?
