Why I re-registered as a Democrat after spending my entire adult life as a Green.

78. everyone has a different strategy

I vote green locally...where ever the opportunity presents itself....because there isn't enough representation of greens locally across the nation....it exists in pockets...but after voting for nader in 2000...I said forget that don't want the republicans in the white house...look how that turned out....so green locally and then whoever can be the republicans nationally....I think there are two great candidates...so I am not worried about it the GOP is not in a good place right now; its about who has the ability to spank the republican harder....after that local politics matter more....I think by hiding behind HRC's skirts bernie misses an opportunity to show he can spank the republicans...his campaign supporters spank HRC never proving that bernie could take on the republicans...being forced to work with them instead...perhaps he should have done it the other way around and spanked the republicans first....demonstrating he could do the job....I am supporting HRC because politics is so different at the national than at the local level....however if bernie manages a primary win of course I am voting dem no matter what...unlike the pseudo bernie supporters who will stay home if he doesn't win the primaries....I fail to see how this strategy supports Bernie's ideals (and therefore yours) by abandoning him in the end....cheers, maggie
