(62,325 posts)going to be the candidate I will support with donations if not in my district.
See what they did with the NJ Gubernatorial Race. It was an outrage frankly, elected DEMS endorse THE REPUBLICAN, the Party ABANDONED a perfectly good Progressive Dem giving her no assistance, no money and supported Christie instead. And when anyone objected, what did we hear? 'She doesn't have a chance, and we'd rather spend the money somewhere else. IT becomes a self-fulling prophecy as intended. Hopefully Dem voters will never let that happen again, see how supporting a Republican worked out for them.
We the voters have to be as stubborn as they are, not willing to move an inch on who we want as candidates. They CAN'T win without us, we need to use that and mean it because so far, they just take our money and votes for granted. Not any more, that needs to be the message they get and then it's up to them whether they want to win or lose.
