    Just so people are aware moving forward. I'm a registered Democrat, have been my entire life, and that's going to inform my perspective on the upcoming primary (because in a very limited sense) I'm an active participant. Voted for Bernie in 2016. So take from that what you will.

        Obviously I prioritize a host of other concerns over fidelity to any candidate, because journalistically/analytically that's incumbent on me. But I'm also a citizen, with voting interests. (And I wish journalists would stop denying that.)

        Mistrust of journalists often stems from a mistrust of motives. Well, I'm transparent as possible about my motives (and self-critical! or at least try to be). Social media has made transparency in this regard a lot more common than it used to be, but there's still a big problem.

        You still trust that party? How? Why? Your vote doesn't matter to them. They pick who they want and that's that.

        FWIW, I think the Hillary Clinton & the Dem establishment have so poisoned intra-Dem dialog and relationships that it will be very hard to get the Dem Party coalition to coalesce in 2020.

        It may be that Trump & the GOP can lose in 2020, but the Dem Party has created weaknesses for itself that will cause it to under perform.

        Then be ready for 2020 when the big donors and the DNC decide for you who will run in the general election. Your vote in the primary will be meaningless.

        Blows peoples' mind when you tell then you can both support and oppose Trump, it's part of being a critical thinker.

        Enjoy ur tweets in the most part but remaining a Democrat means you will not be part of any meaningful solution. They r one side of the #duopoly in the employ of the #oligarchy & their mission is to preserve & protect the status quo. Real change will not come until they r gone

        I know. But you're pretty upfront and seem to be more sincere than most people who main politics, left or right.

        If I were a journalist, I wouldn't vote at all. You would end up compromising yourself.
