Showing Original Post only (View all)When a Centrist Independent is a more reliable vote for Democrats than, well, some Democrats... [View all]
All I can assume is that:
Number A: the "Democrats" who plan to abandon the party have swallowed the Republican's line of BS,
Letter 2: the "Democrats" who plan to abandon the party have swallowed the Naderesque line of BS, or
Thirdly: were never really Democrats in the first place.
Regardless, I have never missed an election, have never wavered in my support for Left and Center-Left candidates, have never voted a Republican ticket, and have helped the Democratic party in many ways over the decades. I just haven't joined the party for philosophical reasons.
So to all those who would have us believe that they are "True" Democrats and plan on sitting out the next election, or claim that Dems = Reeps, or spend their time trashing the Prexy and other elected Democrats instead of working to defeat the Repubs, here is my challenge.
Show up or shut up.
Let's see whether you really believe in stomping the s***out of the Republican agenda, or whether you'll lie back and let it happen.
Vote, God-fucking-dammit. Or you're even less of a Democrat than me.
