34. When you have to present a choice between US Democrats
And British Tories to declare you'd take the Democrats, you might be onto part of the problem. You see, we do not run against Tories. That is not the choice at hand. The Tories are in another country. So it is amusing that this is where you take it.
Like most on this thread, I find our one Party disguised as two Parties thing to be far less attractive than a multi Party system.
And by the way, our DNC is closer to the Tories in policy than to either of the two other major UK Parties. So voting for US Democrats gets you Torry simulacrums, the closest thing we got to them, in actuality. Because our Party is not liberal. It is closer to the Tories. It is lead by people who hold open prejudice against millions of the rank and file, and favor open discrimination based on religious dogmas and tests, that is the DNC today. I'd love to be able to vote for a Party that represents me, rather than disrespects me, even if we don't win. Sick of voting for bigots who are against my own household to serve this right leaning Party.
