And I can't vote Republican, judging from our local wack-a-doodle Republican party, which is even worse in some ways.

Where's the party of boring reason, respect for all, and sound governance?
But the local .democratic party isnt the national one.

All of our city political positions are held by “Democrats” even though a few of them are conservative democrats, I.e. could be Republicans. It’s just that no one can run on a Republican ticket and win in my city. My own alderman is one of the more pro business, “conservative “ones. As a white man he’s probably serving his last term. He won’t be in the game long, Will likely lose the next election since they have consolidated aldermanic wards.
