No such thing as a good repug.

But once Joe was pressured out by dem leadership, I choose to become an Independent.

Few politicians around here run Independent, some local elections here and here.

But felt that’s where I wanted to “plant my flag” so to speak.

Hope Dems can find their way back to supporting the working man and be visibly pro-union.
