This debate made me realize how disappointed I am by the direction of the Democratic Party. Our party, and both candidates, looked like captive circus clowns that pandered and peddled to any minority voter that was out there. The phrasing of the gotchya questions about deportation and the reunification of famalies forced the candidates to give answers that required NO nuance. The moderators, and these voters, weren't ready to hear how nuanced and complicated these answers are, but would rather be satisfied by a yes or no answer with a full stop period. It is one of the first times in a long time I feel ashamed to call myself a democrat.

As a whole I dislike the majority of democrats... the
Democrats
in my hometown have involved themselves with never-ending corruption, greedy plans, and racist policies. There are a few democrats I like but ultimately I think that they need a complete re-haul.
For many, voting for DNC candidates is an act of survival. The only reason I'm not voting for Jill Stein in the general election is to save my reproductive rights. I don't even think a *insert Democrat presidential candidate here* will do much in regards to race.
In fact, the only reason I'm voting for Sanders in the primary is because I appreciate his liberal beliefs regarding education and minimum wage. I know not all of it is possible/likely, but it's better than someone who doesn't believe in it at all... especially considering most policies mentioned during elections get watered down results at best. An attempt at change > someone who will be complacent with current policies imo.
I know that we have disagreeing opinions about why we're disappointed, but I think it's true that the party is greatly fractured and many people are unhappy with how things are going.
