Pissed me right the hell off. There always has to be this third party variable bullshit, and more often than not that variable turns out to be a negative number. So why the hell is Slate pushing this crap?

c. Is different in some relatively insignificant way that makes him beloved by the OR crowd.

This way he can be another martyr for the cause showing how mainstream Dems are actually not progressive.

You know, I hate to sound divisive, but this shit has to stop. When someone demonstrates clearly that the OR platform is both attainable and can generate more votes than the mainstream Dem platform, then I will listen. But yesterday should be proof enough that OR candidates do not generate enough votes.

And yet, Slate...

or someone who used to work on RT who I think continues to work for the KGB, but I cant say the name and they were asking who the listeners wanted for the 2020 ticket and callers saying they wanted NON democrat to lead the ticket, I screamed at the radio.

Cant take anymore stupidity

And the "Progressives" keep reminding those of us in the mainstream, that we can't win without them. No shit. But, you can't win a general without us.

So, unless we want mutual assured destruction, we need to support the Democratic nominee in every election, every time.

That's the god damned definition of a "coalition".
