The Democrats treat us Liberals the exact same way, and I think there is a lot of overlap between the minorities rights and the Liberals. A move to the left helps us both.

There seem to be two prevailing philosophies. One is to abandon the Democrats and go Green. The expectation is that the Republicans will make things so miserable for everyone that there will be a huge backlash and a move towards the left. Of course, there will be a lot of damage to repair at that point.

The second idea is to continue to vote Democrat and try to slowly move the party towards the left from within. The advantage here is that things don't get as bad, but perhaps it takes longer to move as far towards the left.

Both are valid strategies. I personally prefer the work-from-within strategy.
