[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel so politically lost.  I grew up in a "vote Democrat or die" home and was raised to believe that Republicans were the source of all problems in America.  However, as the Democrats moved further to the left and I saw firsthand how the culture and policies of dependency impacted my family, I identified less and less with Democrats (I'm also a closeted pro-lifer and I'm not very sympathetic to illegal immigration so that doesn't help in today's Democratic Party).  However, the current GOP is repulsive and amoral and there's no way in heck I can support their agenda which I think is chipping away at our democracy.  I'm not going to vote Republican (haven't since Bush at the national level), but I don't feel wanted by the Democrats, so I feel lost.  Voting for a 3rd party might feel emotionally right but won't help to solve our nation's problems.  Is anyone else feeling lost and disillusioned in today's political world?  If so, how are you coping with it?[/quote]

Other than Bernie and Warren, are the rest of the Dem candidates too far left? To me, I would rather have a democracy than a Trump Autocracy, so will do everything in my power to work against Trump in 2020. That said, whoever the next president is going to spend significant time and effort rebuilding our institutions, particularly State, Ag, Interior, EPA where this administration has been gutting the agencies. There really won't be a lot of bandwidth to implement any far-out agenda items, particularly with a GOP senate.[/quote]

Don'! forget department of education too.  
Bannon said that Trump's plan was to bring down all these agencies from the inside.  And he has been working toward that goal!  [/quote]
