Whether or not I like Clinton, Greenwald, Snowden, Obama, Warren, Sanders,

or Rand Paul, whether or not I agree with how we are handling Terrorism, The War On Drugs, The Environment, The Economy, Racism, Income Equality or anything else that people think should be keeping me awake at night, no matter what I think and no matter how bad you want to believe that we "far left crazies" who are against NSA overreach, against Drone Strikes, against gifts to Wall Street, against the lame ACA, against the idiotic War On Terror, are the ones who are going to "cost you the election", I just dropped off my ballot, with all the "D"'s marked clearly.

Checkmate.

Did you just say it doesn't matter what the candidate is for or will do because you're voting Democrat simply to vote Democrat?

Poster voted, and voted straight "D" because yes, all our choices are bad but yes, "R"s, or not voting, are worse.

But you knew that.

It can affect Supreme Court nominations and confirmations, we need to change as much as we can. We need the majorities in our state houses to reverse the GOP gerrymandering. Yes it makes a difference if they have a D behind their name.

Besides the stated reasons I don't like the GOP platform, it is bad.
