(95,337 posts)I have had people tell me 'how else will we get the democrats more progressive if we don't teach them a less'.
You want to play that game with a race like very moderate Mark Pryor of Arkansas ok, that's fine we got stuck with Tom Cotton as a Senator now. But he is only 1 of 100 and it's looking that the democrats will take back control in 2016.
But Bill Clinton had this country going in a good direction until the brakes were slam stop with Bush hijacking the election. Sure in the end it was 5 Supreme Court Justices that made the decision but Bush kept the race tight enough so that he could steal it. Nadar did hurt.
I cannot allow myself to cast any vote that could in anyways give control of the White House to any of those idiots running on the GOP ticket. There isn't one of them that is remotely tolerable. I think the only Republican that could run for office that I like is my former representative Mike Castle - he was old school GOP and also pro-environment and pro-choice. Of course he lost a senate primary to a tea bag idiot. Thank goodness Delaware is a strong blue state.
And in the end - I actually like all of the candidates, so I have no problem voting Democrat if any of them get nominate. So that makes it easy too1
