Reply #8: Wouldn't that be MUCH more of a problem for these non-voting "progressives" than for Gibbs? [View All]

I mean, Gibbs will never have to worry about being employed. Gibbs won't have to worry about money. A Republican majority or President would barely affect his quality of life at all.

On the other hand, the "progressives" who don't vote Democratic usually have a LOT to lose under a Republican government. They may not believe that now, but their lack of imagination doesn't make that any less true.

So I don't see where you get the idea that Democrats in the minority would somehow hurt these elected Democrats at all (let alone more than it would hurt the non-voting or third-party voting "progressives"). However politically incorrect it may be to say this, these "progressives" need Democrats a lot more than Democrats need these "progressives."
