29. Rewarding cowards does not work either
I agree with everything you say except your basic premise. I am not voting in the next election, not because my candidate did not get the nod, but because democrats as a whole have betrayed the very basics of my beliefs. I expect my leaders to lead, not cave in to imbeciles. I expect my leaders to go after and bring justice to criminals, not tell them that impeachment is off the table.

(Can you imagine a prosecutor running for office telling the electorate he is not going to prosecute known criminals because it is not politically expedient.)

Democrats have shown that they are scared to do anything progressive because they do not want to be labeled "liberal." This is pure cowardice.

They gave the nod to extremist supreme court nominees.
They voted to fund an illegal war.
They stood by while our treasury was looted.
They whined while our country was raped.

I will not give my vote to these cowards. They will have to earn it. They are counting on the fact that you will vote for the lesser of two evils. Until they learn not to take their base for granted, I will no longer support any democrat.
