(11,612 posts)As an example here in Washington, our state Senate is controlled by republicans because 1 Dem is caucusing with Republicans. He even got reelected in 2014, almost completely based on the premise of "as long as they have a "D" after their name I will vote for them".
Our budget fight this year was dragged out for months because of 1 vote in the Senate.
I will never vote for a Democrat that does not support basic human rights
Basic human rights include but are not limited to:
Women's reproductive healthcare
Equal pay for equal work
Women workplace protections from harassment
LGBT equal access to public restrooms
LGBT workplace protection
LGBT right to marriage
Equality under the law for PoC and immigrants
Equal and fair access to vote
Failure to enforce just these items listed above not only does a disservice to Democrats but to all Americans
