(9,214 posts)Where I live they even have their own line, it's called Liberal party, the Working Family party is also usually a good one.
Get out of the "must vote for one of two candidates" mode. Why limit your options?
The only way the best candidates can win is if we vote for them. Lately very few of the Democratic or Republican candidates are the best candidate. For national office there are rarely over 4 or 5 serious candidates, it doesn't take long to educate yourself about their values.
Maybe the right wing dragged you to the right, they didn't drag me anywhere. I haven't voted for a Republican in at least 30 years, not even for dog catcher, and haven't voted for a Democrat in over 10 years. So no, I haven't been whining for two years, but I have been trying to let people know they shouldn't vote for a conservative no matter what the letter is after their name.
So take your right wing liberal bashing somewhere else, it won't work on me. I imagine I was a liberal before you were even born and I will be one when I die.
