(26,314 posts)If a significant number would tell the Turd Way to get flushed the party would have to negotiate and cater to the left or die. 1% can arguably be replaced as can 3%, maybe even 5% but when you get into the area of 10% and more the votes obtainable by lurching right even hypothetically start to dry up fast.
The higher the number the more impossible triangulation and the "who else are you going to vote for" threats.
Appreciative is absurd, these people are supposed to work for us and protect the Constitution. We don't have to be and shouldn't be thankful for placing a (D) next to their names and helping the TeaPubliKlans funnel the nation's wealth to the hands of the wealthy few, destroy or civil liberties and make a mockery of the Constitution, enable polluters to socialize their down side and/or flat destroy habitats, and spread empire.
Now, over the decades I have fell into line each and every time so I have been a part of the problem and I plan to remain in that column this cycle but I'm not going to play this game forever. Over the next four years I'll be reevaluating how to support good policy, self determination of the American people, and advancing broad prosperity but my answer won't be Paul Ryan or Bob McDonald or whoever will be worse. It will be affirmative on a course of action.
