I've chosen my candidate, although I still feel good about

[GreenPartyVoter]

several others and would be ok with them winning.

Looking forward to voting for Elizabeth Warren!

[Vegas Roller]

1. but ... but ....

She doesn't belong to the Green Party as your sobriquet suggests.

[YOHABLO]

2. Would you rather Green Party supporters not vote Democrat this time around?

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Wrong. In all the years I was a Green, I voted for far more Dems than anything else.

[HeartlandProgressive]

15. +100

[Turin_C3PO]

10. I've known SEVERAL Green Party people

that voted Nader once and then went on to support Democrats in later years. My mother is one.

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. Nader was the last time I didn't vote Dem for Prez. We just don't have a voting system

in place where you can vote your heart in the generals. Or even the primaries, lately, given how some candidates are fanning the flame of fear trying to get people to settle for strategic already.

[Hortensis]

39. :) And we never will since democracies are of and by real people,

with over 200 million real differences, whatever the number of registered voters will be.

As for "settling" for strategy, I'm grateful we have that option. In every election, either a Republican or Democrat will take the power waiting for the winner. Just imagine if one couldn't vote for a party to win, but only for one of 26 candidates, or perhaps 60 candidates from 9 parties, most making soul-sucking deals with ideological opponents to form majorities. Then finding out how all those chips fell only when it was all over and what came out of that mess was some disaster just happened.

I'm also grateful that, unlike many nations, I have a one party I can feel very good about supporting over the other. The choice couldn't be more clear and unambiguous.

Congrats on having a candidate you feel especially good about. I like a lot about her also and was very disappointed when she didn't run in 2016, and again when she didn't become our VP candidate.

[Eliot Rosewater]

18. DemocRAT?

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. For some people seeing "Green" has them seeing red, and all further rational thoughts flee.

[Blue_true]

4. That poster is a pretty rational person, I have debated him or her before.

The poster does not seem to be the type that will sacrifice segments of society to massage some philosophical point.

[GreenPartyVoter]

28. Thank you. :) I have strong principles and beliefs, but I can

compromise when I have to. I would rather argue with a Joe Manchin over climate change than a Mitch McConnell, you know?

[Blue_true]

42. I enjoy and sometimes are opposed to your posts, but all of them make me think about what is

important in life and that has value for any person.

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. I used to be a Green. I switched so that I could caucus for Bernie. I stayed because I thought

it might be the best shot at getting progressives into higher offices, hence my support for Warren. She’s the most electable left-leaning candidate in the top tier.

[myohmy2]

8. Congratulations...

...on your decision and choice...

(although I may slightly disagree with you)

...if you ever get tired of Elizabeth, wander over to Bernie...

[MrsCoffee]

14. Seems they might have got tired of Bernie and wandered over to Elizabeth.

A current trend.

[GreenPartyVoter]

27. Thanks! Bernie is still on my radar, for sure. I would be thrilled with most

of the top five, really.

[Turin_C3PO]

9. GreenPartyVoter is a DU original.

She deserves respect. I’m sure she ultimately votes for the Democratic nominee.

[backtoblue]

11. +1

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. Thank you!

[Rhiannon12866]

17. +2!

Member since 2002!

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. Thank you!

My kids were babies when I joined up here. They are in college and working construction now!

[blm]

31. Yup. A committed leftie Dem.

And a longtime DU fixture.

[GreenPartyVoter]

24. Thank you so much!

[backtoblue]

12. Way to rain on another DUer

Com'on man. Read her sig line

[Hassin Bin Sober]

19. You won't get an answer

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. Thanks for the support! Most people see the username and can't get past it.

[backtoblue]

35. Greens are an important subset of our big tent IMO

I'm a liberal Democrat to my bones. I also like most Greens and Indies

My username gets some shit sometimes too, with people asking if it's anti police. It's not, I signed up when W was driving the drunk bus. I wanted to turn our political agenda "back to blue"

I hope you enjoy your labor day!

PS: Welcome to the Persistance my friend!

PSS: I have no idea what the hidden response to my post said, so if anyone would like to give me the gist in a PM, much appreciated!

[melman]

41. Oh no

What happened here?


How am I ever going to find out what the key word is now?

[George II]

16. Elizabeth Warren is a member of the Democratic Party, not the Green Party.

[Eliot Rosewater]

20. Very informative this is, isnt it. Green party, hmm...

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Your candidate was my second choice. You like someone a former Green approves of. I hope

you survive the shock.

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. Lucky for her I am as well, and can give her my support.

[backtoblue]

36. Yes...

Whats your point?

[George II]

37. My comment was directed to someone with the screen name "GreenPartyVoter".

[backtoblue]

38. Okie dokie

The poster has a link in her sig line that talks about her screen name.

Go Democrats 2020! Our nominee is going to be awesome no matter who we choose!

It's an exciting, but scary primary.

[FoxNewsSucks]

32. Good for you!

Warren has been doing a great job. She'd mop the floor with MF45 and then work her ass off for the American people.

I read through this thread, and will read your sig line soon. It is pretty annoying when this site and the Democratic establishment is so un-receptive, and at times hostile, toward liberals. We need to move toward liberals, and give give all Green Party voters a reason to join the Democratic Party and enthusiastically vote FOR the Dem, not just vote against the scumbag republicon.

[demmiblue]

33. I am still undecided, but she is one of my favorites.

Also, what the heck is going on in this thread... I can only see one response?!

[GreenPartyVoter]

34. I held out on deciding for quite awhile, as we have such a strong field. You must have some

folks on ignore if you can only see the one reply. Long story short, a few people came in to play games over my username. Too bad my sigline isn’t always visible. It might have saved them some embarrassment.

[demmiblue]

40. Lol... figures.

I have a healthy ignore list full of drama llamas, sea lions and moths.

[SKKY]

43. Good for you! Although I prefer Kampala, I'd be happy as a pig in slop....

...to vote for Elizabeth Warren.
