“Unlike the Green Party or other independent left-leaning parties, the WFP frequently functions as a progressive faction of the Democratic Party in the handful of states where it has a large presence.”
Exactly why I dislike this third party. While most likely I’d support them in a race against a Democrat, I’d vote for the Green or another leftist third party over them any time.
I think we’re going to start to see the WFP run more candidates that are independent of the Democratic Party.

I think the real test to see if the WFP is going to be more than a satellite party of the DEMs is if they start running other candidates in races that also have REPs in them.
