Glad you have it all figured out. Stay close minded. That's a little harsh. I am by no means close minded and have never once suggested that I have all the answers. Just because Ohio expanded Medicaid doesn't mean that Kasich is a knight in shining armor. He understood (and rightfully so) that he governed a moderate state that had a hell of a lot of lower income people and that he would very likely lose reelection in 2014 if he didn't expand Medicaid. I can pretty much guarantee you that he would have never pushed to expand Medicaid if he wasn't up for reelection in 2014. All I'm suggesting is that Kasich is not as moderate as you're claiming. Please research his policy positions on the various issues and then ask yourself if that is the type of person you would like to lead a country of over 300 million people.

I'll vote for the Democratic nominee whoever it is, unlike the "Bernie or Bust" assholes who convinced themselves that a vote for Jill Stein would really stick it to the man and teach rank and file Democrats a lesson. I hope they are still sleeping soundly now that we have a reality television star as our President and a racist Senator from Alabama as our Attorney General.

TJ Wrote: Sorry for my earlier reply. I too will vote Democratic although it's easy to be discouraged by the loses in the last 10 years. Democrats pulled us out of the Great Recession that W got us into, brought 100,000 soldiers fighting in far off lands home, and passed a law that guaranteed every person in this country has a right to health coverage. I want single-payer more than anything else in this world (I'll remind everyone that was my college thesis project), but Obamacare is a shit ton better than what we had before. People seem to forget that. So I understand that it's easy to be discouraged, but John Kasich is not the "moderate" knight in shining armor that will save our country.
"Democrats fall in love while Republicans fall in line." It's cliche as hell, but it's also true. I guarantee you there were plenty of Donald voters who hated that they voted for Donald, but they hated the idea of a Democrat being President even more. On the other hand, many Bernie supporters decided that a vote for Jill Stein was the better option. That's what drives me nuts about ideologically pure so called liberals. They let the perfect be the enemy of the good every single time and then blame everyone but themselves when the shit hits the fan.
*Update* - I was in no way trying to accuse you of being an ideologically pure so called liberal. I should have been more clear that I was upset with Bernie/Stein voters and not you.
