79. We've long since decided that. Vote blue, no matter who, no?

Past party affiliation is rather irrelevant so long as they're currently a Democrat.

If it looks like she has a better chance than AOC against the Republican nominee, well... Vote Blue, anything they did in the past - Be it voting history, or party history - is just a purity test that does nothing but help the Republicans win.

...Honestly, these are the events that cause a party to experience a core shift - You know, by modern standards, X Republican would be considered a Democrat? It'll happen eventually, might take a few generations for it to fully occur, but our decedents will be saying that by (their) modern standards X Democrat would be a Republican.

Ok, probably not. Given how slow our country (Shit, the planet as a whole) is to embrace more nature-friendly lifestyles, I'm honestly expecting that our species will be killed off by climate change come the 50's.
