I don't want to leave the democratic party!
I want to take it over! I don't even want to change it, I agree with the platform.

It must be broken in two and rebuilt.

Every option must be left on the table to make that happen.

4. I am afraid it ALL has to get alot worse for the public to realize
that both parties are a charade.

Both parties need to collapse... and I think we are actually going to see it.

10. Both parties are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Wall Street
It doesn't matter who we elect--once elected they become Wall Street prostitutes.

13. I'm capable
of strategic radicalism ;-) "Freedom's just another word for nothing else to lose," comes to mind.

12. I want to take it over locally, and perhaps at the state level
I want to make the M county and NJ Democratic party as progressive as possible.

14. It left us long ago
The octopus has its tentacles around the former Democratic Party. It's over and needs to be abandoned.
