Any Democrat on a bad day is much better than any Republican on any day. There's more than one issue.

We need to vote for the Democrat, or anyone running who falls on the liberal side of the spectrum when there's not a Democratic Party-sanctioned candidate. Those candidates will for the most part vote Democratic. Republicans tend to vote straight party...whether candidates or bills.
