(27,787 posts)Let's say its 2008, and you leave in NC .... and running for Senate are Kay Hagen (D from blue dogville), and Liddy Dole (R from insaneistan).
Do you support and promote Kagen, yes or no?
Do you vote for Kagen, or so do you stay home?
Perhaps the new DU member I mentioned lives in a RED state. What course of action would YOU recommend to them if the only candidates available to them are insane right wing nuts jobs, or a blue dog?
If the PREDOMINATE take away for the potential new member is that DU is little more than a place where Obama and the rest of the Democrats get trashed endlessly, what then?
Finally, the Democratic Party is not homogeneous. And I would suggest to you that the goal of a site like DU is to not only discussion "Democratic Principles", but it is also to get Democrats elected.
In fact if you actually READ the Terms of Service on the site (link provided below) you will find that the SECOND item listed is "Vote for Democrats".
You might want to read it.
