"Where else can the left go?!" I found it very insulting. While I voted this time for the D, next time I may refuse.

Should the left wing not be listened to, the Party apparatus should blame itself, please, and not those, who don't go along with a letter instead of a clear choice.

Being immediately called an independent by you in that case, will not hurt much, since you must realize that both parties are now heavily dependent on just those kind of voters.
