(26,314 posts)Never is an ill word spoken about the Democrats that directly voted Bush, those folks are ALWAYS welcome.
No such level of ire is given to even the Supreme Court.
Of course the very concept of a major party candidate not earning votes is beyond possibility.
They get testy about Perot at times too, despite the high probability that the Raygun Revulsion wouldn't have slowed without him. It isn't even in the neighborhood of the Nader hate but it is there and the problem is any serious questions or even token challenges of the establishment. The same cotton picking jokers have "concerns" about Occupy, getting a bit foamy about the piehole about Wikileaks and especially Assange, and have a litany of sadsack excuses for robberbarons, bankers, sell out politicians, Big Oil, Big Gas, the extraction industry, and military adventures.
I voted for and put in work for Gore but I made that choice and Al wasn't entitled to my vote at all and I kind of regret not doing more to help Nader and voting his way because our party needed and still needs a wake up call and the number has to be significant enough to make moving right a non-starter option.
I'm hoping that with the time we hope to buy with this election that we can move as one toward a path that doesn't require such harsh actions but there are far too many trying to find a corporatist to get behind early, especially a Clinton if one can be found.
