Which of these parties would you run with? These 3 parties have all run Berniecrats at some point. The Reform party is not specifically a progressive party, but it has run a variety of candidates: conservatives, centrists, and progressives. Major parts of the Reform Party's platform are fair trade and overturning Citizens United.

If I were to ever run for office (unlikely because of my posts on this website and others) I would run as a Democrat. If I'm going to sink a lot of personal money into a campaign, I'd hope to at least have some financial backing from a larger entity. The Green Party cannot provide the type of support that the Democrats can.

Although if I were to run for something small like school board or elections inspector, I'd run as a member of the Greens.

Even if I could, I'll never run for office.

If at all, Democrat, and realistically, I wouldn't get anywhere (trans woman in NC).

Your best shot to at least make the general election in NC would be to run with the Greens or Reform Party (especially because the Reform Party rarely runs any candidates today).

I would run as a Democrat if I were to run for victory.

D if I lived in an area where running as a (well funded, organized) I would create a three way race that I'd lose.

I if I ended up living in an area where a D after your name is a political nonstarter.
