MODERATORS
Voted in my primary this week.
I rarely see any third party in the ballot, and most seem to be some form of Republican but worse.
I don't know if I could vote for an anti-capitalist in the near future in the system we have now. We aren't really set up to give a third party capitalist a fair shot, let alone an anti-capitalist. It is near impossible to even form a union and has so far been impossible to gain universal healthcare, so electing an anti-capitalist is going to be harder than that.
If it were a primary and I was fine with the leading Democratic candidate, then I'd be fine showing support for a more radical party if I shared their beliefs.
