It's more like the young democrats who are so upset when their favorite candidate doesn't win the nomination and decide to stay home and refuse to vote for ANY Democrat if its not THEIR Democrat.
Bernie fans, are you listening?
Jill Stein voters, are you listening?
How about those Ralph Nader voters?

Not saying it's not your right to vote for anyone you want. Just saying without Nader, and Stein, and Bernie stay-at-homers, we would have had President Gore and President Hillary. The Supreme Court would have had a whole different look, not to mention the great legislation that would have been accomplished.
