6. Not a card-carrying member of the Democratic Party

I can't recall ever voting for a Republican, but I am not card-carrying Democrat. I'm not a registered Democrat and thus I don't vote in Democratic primaries.

I have voted for a number of parties - Green, Working Families (which the Democratic Party in New York endorses). Nader in 2004. I think I've even voted Socialist Workers Party or Workers World Party or something. And of course, Democratic.

For me, a party that stands for something is more important than one that does anything to win an election.

From 1946 to 1981, Italy was ruled by a prime minister from one party, yet the left won more in that time period than anyone in the US did.
