What does Matthew 285 have to do with birth control ? <| sep |> That ' s the problem I guess . I ' m part of Bernie ' s main demographic independents who fall left of the Democratic party . The fact that he wasn ' t a Democrat was a big plus for me , not a downside . I vote almost exclusively democrat , get all the newsletters , you name it . Everything short of actually registering as Democrat open primary state , so no real reason to register for any party here . The fact that there was a candidate that wasn ' t beholden to the party was refreshing . I understand why Hillary got so much support from the party . Those superdelegates who supported her early are party members who she ' s directly and indirectly campaigned for , fundraised for , and helped in other ways over the years . It makes sense . But still , seeing what is perceived as the party elite come together to give the insider candidate such a big push out of the gate was . disheartening to people like me . Because I don ' t care at all for party politics . I may show up and vote Democrat every election , but I have no loyalty to the party I just care about electing the leftleaning person who best represents me , and the Democratic party typically represents the only viable option in that regard .
