My post in GD/P
"You're not getting my vote":
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4290341&mesg_id=4290341

It didn't get much traction, maybe because this has been a busy day, but if you agree with me, please weigh in.

Thanks,
Betty

1. Gotcha Betty!
I'm not in the same place as you are with November, and as I've said elsewhere, we all have our decisions to make and need to honor the decisions of others....

But, what you said needs to be heard.

Thanks for notifying us of your post!

:hug:

2. Thanks, bobbolink
Please don't think I'm including you if I go on a rant in the future about not voting for the nominee. I tend to feel very strongly about this, because I think most people who choose not to vote or vote third party are doing it for ridiculously selfish and uninformed reasons. I've read your posts and you clearly are not. I respect that.

:hug:

3. Harumph! I'm proudly selfish and ignorant!!
:rofl:

Seriously, it brings me no joy to talk of my position on this. It hurts deeply to see one's party... the party one has been a proud member of since attaining voting age, and given so many hours of work for.... it is a deep heart pain to come to this place.

I suspect it is for others who are saying the same things, so please give them a listen.

We all need each other, however disparate we may be.

4. Believe me, I was actually considering it myself this morning
What stops me is the idea of judicial appointments. :scared: But after the overwhelming disillusionment I've felt today, I will definitely listen more closely when people express their views on this.
