Eight years ago, a simple, catchy, popular refrain emerged for a weary population which was about to suffer through the biggest financial crisis in generations. It was “Hope and Change” and it defined the presidential candidacy of an inexperienced, largely unknown senator from Illinois. Barbara Conley was one of the millions of Americans swept up in Barack Obama’s promises of hope and change when he accepted the Democratic nomination at a packed football stadium a few miles from her home in the Denver suburbs.

But, as the AP reports, those optimistic days are almost unrecognizable to Conley now. And, making matters worse, the options now may be even worse.

With Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton preparing for their own nominating conventions, the 68-year-old independent is filled with so much frustration at the candidates and the political system that propelled them to victory that she can’t even imagine voting in November.

“I’m so mad about both of the candidates,” said Conley, who finds Clinton too dishonest and Trump too unproven to be president. She paused while loading groceries into her car and declared, “It’s depressing.”
