and I just don't get it. I'm a Democrat through and through. Yes, sometimes the party disappoints me but there IS a clear difference between them and the Republicans and there is almost nothing that would make me want to abstain from voting, much less vote Republican and, at present, the Democratic Party is the only viable vehicle for progressive change in this country- and they agree with the left on pretty much virtually everything but the left frequently gets disappointed that the Democrats can't do more faster (mostly because Republicans keep getting put in charge of government due to the left not voting and/or working to demoralize progressives against voting Democratic due to above).
