    I went independent already.

    The democrats are supporting too many conservative views for me.

    The republicans are too far right.

    The commies are too far left.

    Although typing this out just now made non-binary people finally click in my head.

      Questions.

      Which democrats are conservative? Is Bernie/AOC a conservative? Are they a commie? There’s a portion of the democratic party that aren’t centrists.

      Republicans are definitely too far-right.

          He’s a Independent that caucus with the Democratic Party. But, my point is that there’s two wings of the Democratic Party. It’s the Bernie wing of the Democratic Party that is to be supported mainly. That wing won’t be a relevant party if it was a third party, the GOP needs to die before that can happen.

            If the party is shoving us to the side and only paying lip service to us and carting us out when it is time to vote, then are we really part of the party at all?

              The thing is even intraparty feuds are resolved via compromises to minority wing. So yes, AOC wing of the Democratic Party do have some level of influences toward the Democratic Party.
