I'm not fabulously enthusiastic about our entire political system, our economic systems, our social systems. I'd revamp the whole thing

But, it is what it is. Ironically, much like the position Senator Sanders finds himself in now, I'm a Democrat by default--I know it's the best way to promote social justice, which has to happen, before economic justice happens in the United States of America. To those who think that opinion is arguable, social justice starts in homes, at schools, at places of employment and in the streets.

That's why I say I'm voting for the democratic nominee, I like Senator Clinton. Quite frankly, I flat out don't know as much about Senator Sanders, but there are a lot of DUers, as well as personal friends who admire him and are are very enthusiastic, and I'll take that over the "they're all the same" people--many of whom don't bother to vote--every time.
