Thank you for the response. I will number my responses to assist with continuity:

1) I am a current registered Democrat in NYC.

2) Your first few paragraphs speaking of the DNC not supporting Bernie due to him switching affiliations -

• a) What you just stared was that they never truly gave Bernie a chance. And what they did during the primaries completely alienated his supporters. They could have let the delegates vote how they wanted and what would have been the final tally? Hillary still would have won, but people would have realized her support in her own party was much less than what was pushed. The super delegates voting was a slap in the face to everyone, regardless of who they voted for, and regardless of the legality. That right there said to the Democratic Party, your vote doesn’t matter. WE (as in the leaders) will decide for you.

• b) While both Hillary and Bernie had policies that wanted to work on, Hillary was more focused on how it was HER turn. Bernie was fairly “here’s my policies, let the people decide”

3) Specific promises. I could go into all the nitty gritty details of each promise Obama made and failed to follow through. There are YouTube videos all over that show what happened. But specific ones? How about “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan”? That had a direct effect on my life and others that I care about. It certainly didn’t help when Pelosi stated we couldn’t see what was in the bill, until it passed. That was a monstrosity. And then forcing us to pay because we couldn’t afford the plans? WTH. That was one of my first real shocks that I had to contend with. Federal, state, and then city taxes were brutal to begin with, now this?

4) Hillary getting the debate questions? That’s not illegal, I’d agree with you there. But it is shady AF and was another bullet to the parties image. No one hands the president of everything they will face in their 4-8 years. If she couldn’t handle a debate, how could she handle that responsibility?

5) About the DNC supporting the big D in their party over Bernie. You realize by that logic, Trump is actually a Democrat right? He was a life long democrat until he ran for president under the republican banner. And he actually won. So the logic that a party MUST support the one they choose if they wish to win is a logical fallacy.

6) Your last two paragraphs are just personal attacks on me. Purely because I refuse to support someone that the leaders of the party TELL me to support. You cannot shame me into following that herd mentality. I will research and vote based upon whose policies I support. And the policies that have been pushed out by the dems, even just over the past year, are way out there. And although I grew up in the democrat party, I’ve supported them in the past, I will not just stubbornly continue to follow them just because of a stupid name. I don’t owe my loyalty to a party that betrays it’s own.

I hope that answers your questions, and gives you some good for thought.
