7. I think I agree

Fight like hell against the corporatists in the primary, and if they win, and you live in a state where the vote will be close, it might make sense to hold your nose. My state is California, safely blue, they rarely need my vote so they have to earn it, but strategy is important, no need to put a Republican in power.

Sometimes I wonder if corporate Democrats don't enable more bad policy than Republicans (we, most of us anyway, don't fight against those policies when Democrats are pushing them) and if they aren't just a way to sustain corporatism that would implode if Republicans were running the show. That argument has merit, but I'm just not ready to let things go to hell to that degree yet.
