Many just don't understand the 2 parties. We (Union members) have been told that Democrats will mean job security. Many have been "forced (highly encouraged)" to vote for the Democratic party but it goes against their personal views. I am ashamed to see how many union members are still supporting Obama after what we all have been threw. I, for once, will vote for what I believe is right for me as well as our country and that vote will NOT go to the Democratic party this time. I do wish people would understand what they are voting for and vote with what they believe is best for them. If we get a better Candidate in 2016, I will go back to voting for the Democrat but this election, it will not happen. God Bless America. Let's hope we can get this country back on track.
