(37,621 posts)the Democratic wing of the party getting fed up with our votes being taken for granted. I'm tired of being told, "Who else you gonna vote for?" at election time, & then "Sit down & shut up" during policy making. Voting for the lesser of two evils is getting me exactly what I've been voting against.
I've continued to vote for democrats because they are better on social issues, but I've come to the conclusion that you can't have social justice without economic justice & on economic matters the dems serve the 1% just like the repubs do. I am now a registered Green. I live in a liberal pocket with a liberal rep. I will still vote for democrats most of the time, but I felt it was a way to send the message that I don't identify with the party platform anymore.
