    Found this: An exchange of letters on the Working Families Party [wsws.org]. wikipedia says [wikipedia.org]:

    Like other minor parties in the state, the WFP benefits from New York's electoral fusion laws that allow the party to support another party's candidate when they feel it aligns with their platform. This allows sympathetic voters to support a minor party without feeling like they are "wasting" their vote. Usually, the WFP endorses the Democratic Party candidate, but it has occasionally endorsed moderate Republican Party candidates as a strategy for spurring bi-partisan action on its policy priorities.

    According to Vox link:

    Somewhat understandably, then, the endorsement has not been well met by Sanders’s supporters, who view it as a betrayal of his past work with the party. In 2016, Sanders sent an email to his New York supporters urging them to vote for Hillary Clinton on the Working Families Party line on their ballots. In the same email, he described WFP as “the closest thing there is to a political party that believes in my vision of democratic socialism.”

    Usual disclaimers about the parliamentary road to socialism. Void where prohibited. Plus if Warren, we will be getting a capitalist who isn't ashamed to call herself a capitalist. Is Pocahontas a bad enough dude to save capitalism from the jaws of fascism? Or will Darth Biden media choke her, then choke bigly in the general?
