Obama has soured me entirely on the Democratic party. It obviously doesn't actually represent progressive ideals. Like others on here have pointed out, it turns out that on most issues, he's only one step to the left of either Bush, and he's actually a step or two to the RIGHT of Regan, and that's just messed up.
Even thinking about the upcoming elections makes me feel a little nauseous. Many of the complaints about third party voting are legit, but so are complaints about both of the major parties. Every presidential hopeful seems to be in the pocket of the wealthy and the 1%, so I don't see much changing regardless of who gets into office.
I'll vote based off of my hopes that a candidate won't take regressive social actions. I'd like to see more states rights. But I don't have a candidate I like yet. I don't really want Hillary in office. I'm sure her stint in the oval office would somehow ruin any other female candidate for decades.
At this point, presidential elections in the US just make me feel completely hopeless about the future of this country.
