In a general election, I just won't vote for an independent when there is a viable Democrat in the race. That costs elections and lives.

That being said, the DCCC's "Washington knows best," money-driven, contra-democratic manipulation of the primaries drives essential constituencies out of our party. That costs elections and lives.
