42. I don't think the left is as splintered as last time
The fact that I and other Greens (and socialists etc) are voting Dem this time obviously means that people on the left are interested in gettign $hrubco out of office.

Doesn't sound like the left is all that fractured this time around.

However, don't expect the Dem party to turn into one big happy tent of liberals for the rest of eternity. I doubt that will happen.

So I still say we are better off reforming the system. Maybe have the House be a proportional representation system you could get a lot of folks joing the progressive caucus under other political stripes that way.

Or are you one of those folks who would vote for the world's most conservative democrat over a progressive running under another party just because of the label issue? Because if the answer is yes, I can tell that anything I have to say to you at this point would probably not mean diddly to you.
