Personally, i have given up on the Democratic party. They run a bunch of crunchy lefties during the primary to draw the progressives, but they won’t let them win the nomination. Bernie got so close in 2019, I thought the DNC might try to assassinate him to make sure Biden won. Of course, in 2016, SCOTUS said they could just rig the primaries, or not even have primaries at all, and that would be legal. So, I have little trust in them to do the right thing.
I have voted Green in the last two presidential elections and vote Working Families Party in most local elections. WFP is a social democrat/progressive party that caucuses with the democrats. Hakeem Jeffries is WFP and is also my congressman, so that’s cool. I like Howie Hawkins, and he’s a lot more trustworthy and less kooky than Jill Stein who turned out to have some possibly dubious Russian connections. At this point, most of the Green Party platform is carbon-copied from what Bernie Sanders was running on, and some other similar stuff. It’s matured a lot since the wacky party it was in the 90s.
