(10,751 posts)...is to get someone in the White House who represents our values.
For me, to say that our goal is "not to have Trump or Cruz become president" is absolutely pathetic. Not directing this to you, just pointing out that our goals should be positive, issues-oriented positions. Not just blocking the other side because our side is "less worse".
Not sure how that is going to play out for me in the GE. We'll see where I am living at that time, and how the state looks. If it won't make a difference (i.e. if the state is clearly going red anyway), I will have to look at the options.
At this point I am not at all sure that we have more that unites us than divides us. There seems to be a rather large contingent of Democrats who do not care that we have slid into oligarchy while no one noticed, and that the DLC / Third Way Democrats more than played their part in it.
