Maybe you define yourself by political philosophy or how you are actually registered.
In my state, there’s no party registration, but if a pollster asked me, I’d say I’m a Democrat. I pretty much vote Democratic up and down the ticket, though I may vote Progressive for some offices. Nowadays in Vermont we’ll also see some candidates running on a fusion Progressive/Democratic ticket, like our new lieutenant governor, David Zuckerman, who identifies as Progressive but won the Democratic nomination in 2016. Of course I also vote for Bernie, who identifies as an Independent.
Note: this diary isn’t about Bernie’s label choice. That topic’s been discussed quite a bit already. :-) I’m interested in how folks on this site self-identify politically.
Thanks for participating in the poll.
