I voted for Claudia Delacruz. As long as there is someone on the ballot that represents my views better than the democrats, I will vote for them. I voted some greens, I voted some democrats, I voted some independents. That is the extent of the voting I will do. Voting left every single time.

The GOP loves Progressive 3rd Parties. Anything to drain off support from candidates who might actually win.

Back in the day, Frederick Douglas worked for Lincoln when Lincoln didn't promise to end slavery.

Too bad. I'm not voting for your people. I'll vote for the party that represents my interests, which is how this is supposed to work

Your state should pass electoral reform and get rid of First-past-the-post voting so republicans can't do that then!

How the solution became "vote for my person even if they don't represent you" and not "hey this voting system is broken and republicans are exploiting it. Lets fix it." Is beyond all reason.

I'm not even a smart person, and i can see the solution. What is your state's excuse?
