I've lost a lot of respect for the Democratic Party. I don't know who I'm voting for come November
I guarantee that a similar leak from the Republican Party would be far, far worse.

Democrats need every vote they can get.
Bernie is gonna be a pretty fun head of the DNC
Uh... Yeah. I guess my joke was funny. Thanks for rudely explaining it? Chill out.The DNC? Which actually needs to work with Democrats and get down and dirty in the politics of running campaigns?
*LAUGH*

Imagine what they say about Trump. Especially during the Primary. You want to talk about collusion to take down a candidate? Look at those emails.
What ideas? I said he'll be "fun." Is that a reason to go on the attack? You don't know me.Im sorry, this election makes it hard to seperate the jokes from the people that seriously espouse those kind of ideas.
and there has been alot of it.

Why does everyone assume I'm voting for Trump? We have other candidates outside the two party system and I didnt explicitly rule anyone out.
Oh course but this email thing is a bullshit excuse to use to say you aren't sure who you are voting for. It's very clear where the two sides stand. These aren't two people who are alike. You either vote for the racist or the non racist. You either vote for the bigot or the non-bigot. You vote for the person that would destroy treaties and abandon our allies or the one that will not and will strength them. You vote for the one that will make decisions that benefit their own businesses or the one that won't do that. One knows how they're voting for. Don't be afraid to say it. There should be no deciding here.

There are plenty of fence sitters and they do not consider themselves racist bigots. Painting the race as black and white (and then telling said fence sitter they are a racist)is a sure way to have them vote republican. Whether you believe the issues are black and white or not, I'm just saying it's starting to look like Undecideds may be pretty important this election so reaching out to them in a non confrontational way ... It's important.
I'm not American myself so I have no stake in the game, just offering advice.
It's true, and Republicans are careful to present themselves as victims of a race baiting media. Shit works. You can't scare people into supporting a Democrat. I dunno why but it just never works.There are plenty of fence sitters and they do not consider themselves racist bigots.

Looking around... And god my social media is fully polluted with people who care way too much about this. I think Trump is gonna win due to the internet being silly. It's depressing as fuck.
It says a lot that this is what does it for you. You don't seem to have really cared about the issues of platforms it seems...
Oh definitely. I think the signs that they were really trying for Cruz and Rubio are blatant.
That's why I hate the two party system. What if you're socially liberal but fiscally conservative? What if you're a socially conservative socialist? What if you support the LGBTQ community but have a strong opinion on illegal immigration? What if you support the TPP but not corporate lobbyists?
Few people agree 100% with either candidate, and both major parties are showing their true colors.

I honestly doubt there are any real fence sitters this election. Most people who are outwardly present themselves as a fence sitter and undecided this election cycle are probably do it because they are too cowardly to openly express their racist/bigoted views. These people will vote Trump. All the other fence sitters are the ones who are completely obliviously to what is going on in the world of politics.
Let's try this again.
What made you lose respect for the Democratic Party (anything specifically?). We need your vote. I get the feeling of wanting to vote third party but it looks like the race could end up razor thin whoever wins.
One side has nominated the second coming of Hitler while the other seems to have problems with emails....
I think you overestimate peoples' knowledge of the issues. And I mean that about the presenters as well.
I care about a variety of issues, and lean mostly Democratic, yet some of my views do land on the independent or even Republican side of things. Isn't this how most people are? I don't think I've met one person who agrees completely with Trump or Clinton on all of their policies. I refuse to believe everyone sees both parties as either 100% in their favor, or 100% out of it.
I really appreciate that you asked! A lot of people think that I'm either an idiot, a Republican, or a driveby shitposter, but seriously I'm none of those things.
I certainly don't want Trump, but before these emails came out I can't say I agreed with everything Hillary said eirher. I'm 100% for all of her social stuff. I think its absolutely idiotic in this day and age to be sexist and racist. The fact that Black Lives Matter actually has to fight for an end to police brutality is sad.
However, I disagree with some of her economic stuff, but although the Republican Platform aligns more closely with my opinions on that, its not a 100% match either, and Trump seems to have no idea about any of it.
Above all, I'm just tired of the corruption and the collusion. I think that the Democratic and Republican Parties should have remained impartial instead of trying to push their candidates (Hillary and Ted Cruz) into the nomination. Sure it didnt work for the Republicans, but their efforts weren't unnoticed.
I'm sick of the money too. Hillary has a paper trail behind her a mile long, and so does pretty much every other candidate. Trump might not, but he's a non starter anyway.
Most of all, I'm just confused. I didnt mean to get anyone angry.
To be clear, that's a byproduct of our constitution and the 12th amendment. It's not about moneyed interests or anyone keeping down other parties. It's simply the nature of the game, based on mathematical necessity. We would need a constitutional amendment to adjust our system of presidential elections to ever change this. In a first-past-the-post system, two parties are the natural result.Oh definitely. I think the signs that they were really trying for Cruz and Rubio are blatant.

How so? Even someone who only has a cursory knowledge of the issues this election cycle should know that Donald Ttump wants to build a wall and ban Muslims in some fashion.
Those same people also know we currently kill innocent civilians (sad but inevitable/understandable)and openly lie about their affiliations with terror organization (textbook racist) in order to save some face. It's the worst kept secret in global politics and we all know that so... we all know that right? And we vote based on that right?How so?

When you spout unproven stuff like this is what gets people to come at you. Clinging to right wing talking points is no bueno.I'm sick of the money too. Hillary has a paper trail behind her a mile long
If those emails turned you off.
You were not a reliable democratic voter anyway, and are just making excuses not vote for Hillary.

Because your vote will help Trump if you don't vote Democrat.I've lost a lot of respect for the Democratic Party. I don't know who I'm voting for come November

Isn't being fiscally conservative and socially liberal an oxymoron?
The primary purpose of fiscal conservatism is to reduce social programs and perpetuate the dominance of the ruling class. It's really hard to have social equality when all the money is being held by one group of people.
