I have always been a Democrat too because their values align with mine...mostly (except total capitulation to Israel). If we could make it so they don't have to sell out to corporations and wealthy donors, I think they would be free to live up to their true ideals.
Without big money donors, who Trump relied on far more than Harris, I truly wonder what the Republican party would look like...also without Trump.
