So With The Current "Divisions" Within DU... How Do You Plan To Vote In 2014... IF You Do...

Personally... with as much complaining I do...

I do plan to vote... and vote for the Democrats...

BUT... I live in NorCal... that's fairly easy.

DiFi...

Will I support "Leftier" Dems... Yes.

If a Bernie Sanders type Indie shows up... maybe.

But Republican... NEVER!

You ???

It's lewd, lascivious, egregious, preposterous, salacious, and outrageous!

Was going to alert on your post and put the above in the comment section but then thought I might get into trouble for making a joke alert.

And I'm planning of getting another one just so I can name it "FC" for "fucking cat"----which is what I should have named that little monster who hogs the bed and wakes me up at 4 in the morning and makes me keep her dish filled, and wants me, not my husband who's already in the front room to get out of bed and let her out every time and leaves little dead mice on the doorstep.

DF is preferable to a Republican, because that would possibly threaten control of the Senate, and giving Senate control to Republicans is unacceptable. If someone runs against her in the primaries, I'll probably vote for that someone.

My ballot looks generic Dem, but California has a history of (especially in the 90's) of having Republicans change party and run as Dems in primaries to split the Democratic vote.

For Senate, Cory Booker again.

For the House, it depends. If Bill Hughes Jr. is the Democratic nominee I will vote for him. If it's homophobic Deep-Blue-Dog Jeff Van Drew, I will vote for anyone else.

For the county races, most likely straight Democrat.

Dem is a total crook, child molester and so on. But I am a precinct chair now and wont ever vote for another party. I would just skip that race on rhe ballot. I will still vote for Greens if no dem is running.

I think the main difference between you and I is that you think of what could or should be (of which I don't disagree), but I think more in the "what's possible with the current house and senate makeup" sort of way.

We should have not let the RW get away with a ground up campaign that's 30 years old, taking over places from the city council on up... pushing ideology hard.. see the solid red states.

the time for action, sadly, was decades ago.

start supporting (across the board) actual Democratic policy, instead of making excuses for going along with the pubbies.

I will give Wendy all of my extra cash this round.

DiFi never gets my vote. Period. Pelosi & Boxer -- usually, but it will depend on how they respond to any further attempts at "entitlement reform". The Big One -- depends on who the nominee is. Could be a write-in. Living in CA allows us a latitude that too many aren't.

As I said below, I think we should at least have primary challengers to our pretty-much-guaranteed-twin congressional candidates. Having them compete with a republican every election, well then their strategy becomes simply "don't be the republican, and you'll be reelected".

Those same people will surely win their primary, but they'll have to win it by standing up for progressive values, not non-republican values

For a lot of the local races, there isn't really an obvious party affiliation. Not to mention the ballot initiatives

Though I do wish we had a primary or two now and then, just to shake things up

And for those of you who are complaining about the direction of the party--- nominees are decided at a local level. Are you involved?

FTR I voted 4 times this year. (2 primaries, special senate election, general election including governor, state senate, state assembly, and county level races).

Turnout in midterm elections is key, and unfortunately many people simply won't be paying attention unless they have a particular issue they're following.

Thing is these are not National elections but rather local and statewide elections for national offices, you got to worry about the folks that are being force fed turds.

I have no promise that I'd swallow too vile an excretion but I'm relatively good.
