But it's not usually an issue re WFP, because they are so often in sync with the Dems.

And Brooklyn really is different - this is a one-party town (or county, more accurately), and as I have mentioned before, that leads to all the same abuses of power that we see in Washington today. Just because they are being perpetrated by Democrats doesn't make them better. The former leader of the Brooklyn Democratic Party is in jail. There are Democrats, and then there are Democrats.

If we had no third parties here, our only hope for change would be through internal reform, and while we're working on that, you know it's not going to happen overnight. I'm perfectly OK with supporting WFP candidates when I see them as being truer to the spirit of the Democratic Party than some machine-bred crook who's got the Dem line on the ballot. This is because I see their goals as being pretty much the goals of the National Democratic Party. I would, however, have a very major problem with supporting someone who was running solely as a Green.
