If the only other options in the races are (R) then hell yes vote a straight Democratic ticket.

I would extend that to the idiotic "Constitution party," the moronic "libertarian party," or whatever other right wing party that might be on the ticket.

If you absoultely must protest vote at least do it for a party that has a platform that is A: recognizable. B: intelligable. and C: something you might actually believe would be good policy. D: Is actually at least as progressive as the Democrats or a hell of a lot more progressive.

Otherwise I see no reason to not vote Democrat.

Edit I thought you were judging people poorly that voted a straight Democratic ticket. Nevermind.
