You probably get some respect for your honesty.

But some people seem to think Greens "out there" are all just Democrats in a snit. Or something.

Now, me, I'm more interested in knowing how many Democrats have gone to the Libertarian Party. Many Dems are conservatives who never vote for our presidential candidate after all, no "loss" there, it's who they are, but even more are conservative economically and liberal socially, making them ripe for wooing by Johnson.

Btw, I saw your garden in the making in your journal. Bet it's lovely about now. I grew a lot of flowering shrubs and perennials for years, but with climate change and petal-crisping summer heat (and occasionally drought) here in Georgia, I now back off all but a few real toughies in summer and just enjoy the green. When the trees around the house finally grow large enough, I'll go to ferns, mosses and woodland ephemerals under them.
