There are others parties bettter suited to them - and they should grow their own belief system within those parties. I.E. if Democratic Socialism and the Green Party ran candidates in every election - from the dog catcher to the county clerk - they could grow their base.

They wimp out unless its the White House. Note this is the Democratic Underground and I only support Democratics here.
