*Tough time for sane American voters.
If you're a left-leaning Democrat, the party has abandoned you. The Democratic Party has been center-right since the first Clinton.
If you want a real progressive party, support the Greens.

That just about raps it up. I think you just set the record for ending a thread.
Odd, only if you're a fatalist.
Um... if I may use a quote: "That word, I don't think it means what you think it means."
Okay, I am all ears. How is it fatalist?

Sure, if you want to lose every damn time.
The British have a parliamentary system where many different parties are in government. In the US, two easy for the two parties to dominate government.
No, if you want a party to win, that party has to appeal to a wide range of people. The Greens do not do so. The Libertarians do not do so. That's why they lose. Because NOBODY LIKES THEM!
It's not that hard.
Green Party is virtually impotent.
Have to say...tired of people like you making personal attacks.
Yep, because most will vote only for those running under one of the "major" party banners because they can more easily win. Thus we have the party of the big federal governmen vs. the party of the huge federal government that both turn over "the details" to unelected carreer "servants" to work out and nothhig much changes, year to year, except that the cost goes up.
Can't support Clinton, too conservative. I supported Sanders, but see myself far from the centrism of the Democratic Party.

That's what most Republicans don't get - in the eyes of most of the world, Hillary is fairly conservative, particularly when it comes to the economy. It's as if once the hear the names "Hillary" or "Clinton", their minds shut off and no further rational discussion is tolerated.
That said, I understand you not wanting to vote for Hillary. Just bear in mind what happened in 2001 when we had a lot of Democrats voting for Nader instead of Gore....
