I voted for Kerry back in '04. I fell for those neo-liberal clowns like Bill Maher and Michael Moore begging Nader not to run. I remember how that pissed me off and I still voted for Kerry.That would be a nice change. Out of the pack, there are a couple I like—but I don’t see anyone that totally aligns. But for someone like myself, I don’t feel that now is the time to vote for someone who totally aligns. What I mean by that is, I’m pretty left-leaning politically. But I think the nation needs to move back towards the center right now, so I’m willing to sacrifice a bit on certain things for that reason.
It should go without saying though that even the most moderate of the Dem pack are still fairly left.
No more.
By the way, the country has been in the center since the 80s. Clinton and Obama were both moderates. Hanging out in the middle got us 2 wars and at least 5 more undefined conflicts. It caused a banking and housing meltdown. A million homeless in California. 40,000 die a year from lack of healthcare. Trillions in debt and a bailout to the wealthy that is being paid for by cutting social security and medicare.
