Ive been a socialist since the late 1980s. I know many other GenX that are the same.
Are you an American who has voted for a party other than Democrat or Republican?
Im LibSoc, so neither. You keep asking everyone who they voted for in this thread… Kind of sus
Understandable, but as a Canadian who has voted many times, but never Liberal, NDP, Progressive Conservative/Reform/Alliance/“new” Conservative/WTF-they-might-call-themselves-in-the-future, and one who gets flak and downvotes because apparently a lot of leftist progressive Americans (even Noam Chomsky) believe that people should shun 3rd parties and vote Democrat (such as Chomsky saying Clinton was preferable to Green or others), and work within the Democratic party, even though the last time they had a relatively progressive candidate, IIUC, in 1972, he lost 49 states.
So when a person protests wt:thons progressivism, leftism, and/or socialism, I ask who they voted for (did they vote for Harris? Biden? Clinton? (as I think of it) Obama a second time? Kerry? Gore? Slick Willie a second time?).
Take the Planer scandal.

It’s now going to be a choice between Collins or Platner’s replacement, who might or might not be Troy Jackson, even though it seems that a group who collected 4000 signatures before June (this year—2026) could have fielded a candidate for senator—not field a contender for the Democratic party nomination, but a candidate in a senate race—far more to their ideological liking.
Well, your generalization of age groups is not good.
FWIW, i left the usa after the 2000 elections (i voted 3rd party). The writing was on the wall with regards to the direction of the country. Best decision i ever made in my life.
Thanks for answering, well done, and best wishes. 🙂
