[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ PP here. That isn’t an exclusive list of my issues with the Democrats either. I’m just saying the Democrats have lost me. I can’t vote for insurrection supporting traitors either, though. [/quote]
I am a Democrat who is not happy with my local school board either but I cannot in any way support the other side-book bans, pro-voucher/charters at the expense of public education, intense fear mongering.  The constant posting by right wing folks on these forums has made it so I would definitely never support them.  I am hoping that Democrats get a freaking clue and actually put out sensible/pro academics candidates going forward.  And that people with common sense run for local School Boards.  School board candidates should be non-partisan and not endorsed by any political party.  It's crazy that it isn't the case. [/quote]

My problem is that while I definitely can’t support the Republicans (at least in their current traitorous form), I find that I can’t really support the Democrats either. It makes me want to not vote at all which I have literally never done before. I have never not voted.  [/quote]

Take it election by election and see who is running and see if you like any enough to vote.  You don't have to decide now.  I didn't vote in the D primary where McAuliffe won - I decided to leave the Ds to their own devices on that one - even though I normally don't miss elections either.  I feel fine with it.  
As of right now - I feel like I am not voting for any incumbenants in the next election.  That doesn't mean I am voting R.  I'll see how I feel when  the times come and who, if anyone, is saying anything compelling to me.  I'm watching their records and annoyed at how they voted on optional masking right now.  [/quote]
