    I did in the primaries. Because I felt that he might be able to make a difference while using the Democrat flag to have that power. If he had run as independent I wouldn’t have though. Like I said, I’m hopeful only because of the gradual change within the House to a more progressive membership, slowly but surely, and that’s the only way we’ll ever get true change both in the nation and in the party. My optimal dream is to have the Republican party splinter apart and lose power, allowing the Democrats to also separate into its own different stances, but that’s going to really need a change in a voting system to be more than a singular event.

      Sure, but meh, that’s part of democracy. I don’t mind their being opposing parties. I don’t like that there are just TWO of them that people seem to think are the only options. So I’m not being a part of that, and I’m voting for who I think is the best fit.
