I didn't vote Democratic today...
In NY we have the Working Families Party who runs the same candidates (mostly)- and a vote on their line is a vote for ending the war and no torture AT ALL (hear that, Hillary?).
@ races had different candidates - state senate, a judge - I went Democratic there.
So, if you have this option where you are - consider it - but check individual choices.

2. Whatever you want -- the rest of you remember WE NEED THE COMMITTEE
CHAIRS.

If dems have a majority, these obstructionist republican committee chairs lose their jobs. Google Senator Pat "Cover-Up" Roberts (R) to get a sense of these people. They control the agenda, they cover up for bushco, they suppress the progressive dems in congress.

I WANT JOHN CONYERS TO BE A COMMITTEE CHAIR, and for that I am voting Democratic.

4. A vote for the WFP is a vote for Dems.
In New York, the same candidate can run for multiple parties, and total all votes they receive. So it doesn't matter whether you vote on the Democratic, Independence, or Working Families line.

3. You guys are missing the point
He's still voting for dems. He's just voting for them under the WF party ticket. I'll be doing the same.
