    They’re the party whose candidates I reluctantly vote for.

    Not my party. They don’t want to be my party. They want to be the second Republican party.

      YOUR party lost by trying to be Republican-lite and not running on more progressive policies. I don’t care what you consider yourself (any more than you care about me).

      It’d be cool if we could have productive conversations here but I think it’s becoming very apparent why the Democratic party lost and especially why “the left” will never make any progress in the U.S., the only firing squad the left can muster forms in a circle.

        I have no party. YOUR party represented you by doing what you wanted.

          Sure thing, I’m a registered independent Vlad.

          edit: lol at the instant down vote, what you are is increasingly apparent.
