A vote for an independent candidate only amounts to one more that doesn't effectively stand against GOP nutjobbery. Our economy has improved, our bet on Obama flourished albeit stubbornly to repair the damage the GOP had done, even without their support. I find their backtracking all the way back to the stimulus (which saved our butts) claiming "it didn't work" just as hilarious as it is dangerous.
I still terribly fear the TPP bullshit may sink us all regardless. But I sure as hell am not supporting GOP candidates who want to stuff my gay ass back in the closet or even have me "eliminated" like some of their extremists want. I certainly don't want GOP total supply-side economics, as theirs is so damn tightwad that there isn't even trickle down, it shuts the faucet completely off and in some respects runs it backwards.
I was a Warren hopeful myself. I'm terribly disappointed she won't take the challenge, but also can't really blame her. Yes, Joe Biden I believe would possibly wipe a Clinton nomination off the table. Sanders as well, but I'm afraid his age factor won't garner the independent vote.
So I share the "meh" support of Hillary, but I will also vote for her and get behind pushing for her all the way if she's the nominee.
