For over twenty years, I have identified myself as a Democrat.
For over twenty years, I don't think I've ever voted for anyone who wasn't a Democrat except in primaries after the Dem nominee was selected OR in races where there were no Dems running.
Thank you DailyKos.. you've convinced me that this Democrat... this former Democrat... is an Independent now.
I have called the DNC and asked them to remove my name from their fundraising lists and email lists.
Why?
We have selected as our nominee a man with only three years of experience at the Federal level; much of which he spent campaigning for President. In fact, according to govtrack.com (which btw ranks him to the right of Clinton)
he's missed 21% of the votes taken in the Senate since he joined it.
Obama tells us lies about not taking money from lobbyists.
Obama's campaign has been extremely sexist and has used his male privilege to benefit from sexism in the media.
They took half of my vote from me and took delegates won from a candidate and gave them to another.
I am also leaving DailyKos.
This site has devolved into little more than venomous comments and hate towards anyone who disagrees with the pack. I don't want to participate in a site that thinks that making comments about Clinton's breasts, PResident Clinton's dick or McCain's teeth is valid political commentary.
I don't think you are what you think you are.
