The Democratic Party is also a party of privilege and power – but the Republicans are far, far worse. I wish there was a more progressive alterative. If it were possible to support a progressive alternative without throwing the election to the Republicans, I would.

The failings of Democrats pale in comparison to the garbage, hatred, and complete lack of logic being peddled by Republicans.

I do not even need to know who a Democratic candidate is in order to know the Republican alternative is far worse.

"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all." --Thomas Jefferson to Francis Hopkinson, 1789.
