Leaves me dismayed. I’m not sure what to think these days. Many of our party have turned their backs on people because of their voting preference. Yet they support terrorist organizations and people that flat out don’t believe in human rights. Not to mention many would also put those that are undocumented ahead of their fellow countrymen. After 45 years of being a solid, guaranteed donation, door knocker, and vote. I feel my days as a Democrat are coming to an end. I truly don’t recognize what this party is becoming.
