(17,759 posts)Sorry, it's a Vermont thing. And a Maine thing. But no one groans about Angus King for some reason. We have the same in the Vermont General Assembly with 12 independents and progressives in the House and 2 in the Senate. Rethugs hold less than 30% of House seats and only 20% of the Senate, so they help maintain healthy super majorities in both chambers. Even our Lt. Governor belongs to the Progressive Party. For all practical purposes, they're left leaning Dems, but don't call themselves that for various and sundry reasons. Like the old saying, Dems are like herding cats, but on steroids around here. But when the rubber meets the road, they vote, support and advocate for the same ideals we Dems hold dear. In my mind, THAT is the only thing that matters.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
