20. Or, deliberately misinterpreting it. They WANT centrists in Congress and that is why they back

them financially often against good Progressives.

See the NJ Gubernatorial race eg. We had a good Progressive Candidate, Buono running against a very vulnerable Chris Christie. He was already under fire for his handling of Sandy and the funds for the victims of that tragedy.

Dems not only ignored his Sandy vulnerability, they claimed 'he can't be beaten BECAUSE of his handling of Sandy'.

So, the Progressive Dem was left without funds, up against someone with huge Corporate funding. She was left without much if any support from leading Dems.

She was told outright by the party Leadership they could not help her much financially.

And worse, NJ elected Dems ENDORSED the Republican, Christie. More than 60 of them.

There has been accountability for that in the Party. Elected Dems openly endorsing and voting for the Republican.

And in a Blue state!

Is it any wonder voters are simply disgusted when THEY are told 'you have to vote for the Dem no matter what' when we see THEM doing the opposite?

It makes you think, 'mmm, they are running Centrists when voters want Progressives, and supporting Republicans over Progressives'. What is the message here?
