"It's called precedent," the Senate Judiciary Committee chair said of violating the same rule that Republicans ignored to move forward with judicial nominees.
Yup. That’s part of the poison of the two party system. The Republicans are now just the fascist party and the Democrats are, for the most part, just “everything else,” which necessarily includes some conservative ideologies. I’m not a Democrat, but I’m registered as one because that’s the closest I can get to an actual party that I agree with that may have some impact.
I hope we can someday go back to “normal” Rs and Ds so that a third party option becomes viable instead of just a vote for the other guy. I yearn to be able to vote for someone, not just against someone.
Remember to support systems/organizations working to make changes that allow for challengers from outside the main two parties to succeed. (Like ranked choice voting where not voting democratic doesn’t mean giving power to Republican or vice versa!)

I see the primaries as the perfect place for me to vote for someone I’m passionate about. I also get to send a message to the party that I support a platform that looks different from the right-of-center candidates.
