I am with you and Mineral Man. If a candidate I voted for in the primaries didn't win the nomination, I will vote for the DEMOCRAT who did. It's one thing to debate the issues here, quite another to get mad and cut off your nose to spite your face. If the Democrat Platform isn't Progressive enough or Left enough for me, the Republicans sure as hell won't be working to implement my values. The Democrat who runs in the midterms against the current incumbent will get my support by me knocking on the doors of my neighbors and contributing what money I have to give and my VOTE AT THE POLLS for a Democrat to be my elected representative in the House. Bottom line. I do so swear.
