more than working toward solutions), could be seen as a violation of the TOS.

Vermont has an active Vermont Progressive Party that works to keep Democrats scared by challenging them if they're just random conservatives who put a "D" behind their names.

So, let's be honest--do you really want to advocate for us to start Progressive Parties in all the other states to challenge Democrats and work against their election? Because that would be "working toward solutions". In Vermont, they have even gotten single-payer healthcare signed. Something which the evil conservatives and their spineless "progressive Democratic" allies could not.

Or was your intent to suggest that only Democrats could save us. Because Vermont is showing us that that premise is false.
