(37,639 posts)I've been voting dem, cuz I do see a difference in the two parties. However, I've come to the conclusion that you cannot have social justice without economic justice. Six weeks ago I changed my party affiliation to Green. I'll vote dem when they deserve it, but no more lesser of two evil votes from me. I've been doing that for two decades & it's gotten me exactly what I was voting against. Changing parties is my way of telling the democratic party, "You've taken my vote for granted for far too long."
I have a good rep, one mostly OK senator. The other senator is a repub-lite dem that I'm not so thrilled with. I see that recently he has been speaking out against Citizen's United, probably cuz there's a real repub with lots of cash, getting ready to run against him in a few years. Or maybe I'm just too cynical.
