I am still not on board with ANY democratic candidate but I also know, after enjoying the fruits & labor of the lovely Tom Cotton of Arkansas these past few months, that there is absolutely NO WAY IN HELL that I would also cast any vote in a general election for anyone that could stick us with someone like that for 4 years in the White House.
Because I have this question for you.
You think Mark Pryor was so awfully bad we had to get rid of him for Tom Cotton? And I will be the first to say this - I couldn't stand Mark Pryor, he made Joe Manchin there in West Virginia look like a raging liberal democrat and that's saying alot!
I truly believe in the Primary system and I look forward to some amazing debates not just by our democratic candidates but by DUers here on the boards. At some point I will make an alliance to one of them but after 2008, I'm just as fine leaving an open mind until the picture gets clearer (2008 I was on team Biden as always). But in the end I support the democrat in general election and I call that the democrat because at this point I have no clue who that person is and I'm fucking sick and tired of everyone here ASSUMING it is Hillary just like they did in 2007.
BTW I also believe that candidates can change their mind. I know many candidates back in the early 2000s came out against marriage equality who have since said 'I'm wrong'. So if you are going to give me reasons from votes back in 2002 as to not vote for someone, not working for me either since there are people I have voted for today who have expressed regrets on that vote. Just saying.
