(17,984 posts)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?

(17,984 posts)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.

But yesterday should be proof enough that OR candidates do not generate enough votes.

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".
