    Well, what we’ve been doing thus far hasn’t been working.

    Only a fool would keep trying the same thing but expecting different results.

    I think the real stupid ones are the people voting for the ‘lesser-evil.’ Maybe if they lost a few elections they’d change their tune.

    Funny how it’s always progressive’s fault, though. If a moderate loses? Progressive’s fault for not ‘falling in line.’ If a progressive loses, though, nobody will blame the moderate for not ‘falling in line.’ If a Progressive wins, nobody is going to acknowledge it’s because they were progressive.

    It’s a lose-lose all around, and that’s by design. I’d rather stop pretending that the lesser-evil leads to improvements because it does not. They’re both just looking out for different rich people, and in many cases the same.

    If you don’t like it, then encourage people to vote for better candidates! If dems are truly afraid of losing elections, run better candidates and don’t just favor the ‘establishment.’

    If they can’t do that, then they deserve to lose. I don’t care if you blame me.

      I agree with and understand a lot of your frustrations, as they are also my frustrations.

      But you basically said “I’m tired of voting for the lesser of two evils, so now I will vote for the greater of two evils.” Just vote 3rd party or something, and try to not take it personally when people are assholes about elections.

        Yeah, I could vote 3rd party.

        I guess it would depend on how flippant the establishment democrats and their constituency are behaving.
