My husband's grandfather told me that if you want to make changes happen you have to be part of a party to make those changes. I registered as a dem after that. The man was right...and oh, he was a republican that was big in northwest Iowa politics. Yeah, my husband isn't pure enough to be part of the bernie fan club. When I married him he was a republican. You have to stick with a party, through the highs and lows.
