This was the message from voters to the Dems...

19. if either way your vote will go to a policy you don't support, WHY VOTE?!

I'm lucky, i live in a district with politicians I support. The rising competition agaisnt democrats here are socialists for crying out loud. But for a lot of the rest of the nation? They're faced with the option of voting for a conservative republican, or a Democrat who's trying hard to sell themselves as a conservative republican.

That leaves two notions.

One, you on the left, progressive, liberal side, are simply being taken for granted. it's assumed that you'll reflexively throw a vote at the democrat, so they don't ever need to listen to you, consider you, think about you, or form an agenda with you.

Two, it shows that they will do just the opposite for the obama-hating yukklenuts who roll coal, think life begins in the testicle, and thatthe only way to end a war is to "nuke the bastards."

if I were a Kentuckian "undecided," would I have voted for McConnell or for Grimes? If I'm a left-leaning undecided, they were both equally awful. if I were a right-leaning undecided, I would go with the republican campaigning as a Republican, rather than the Democrat campaigning as a Republican. either way, Grimes loses that vote.

Let's start with getting some "good" out there before you and your sort start using that shitty argument you just tried. "Not as bad as fucking atrocious" does not equal "good."
