and you have the gall to talk about your wife, that you are married to, legally. This isn't attention seeking, this is our lives. We vote, we give money, and if SOME democrats don't represent us then SOME democrats don't get our vote. Do you really think your nasty little speech is going to convince us to just give you our vote? You are EXACTLY the kind of democrat that will lose this election for us because you think that 15% of this party's issues are "special interest" issues.

Property, marriage, healthcare, equality, how fucking dare you call that a special interest when you don't have a thing to worry about yourself?

If you want our vote and if you think you'll lose without it, then this is definitely not the way to get it. I've been voting without fail for 20 years, and every single election is "the most important one of our lives". I have earned the right to think before I cast my vote, not borrow someone else's thinking. If you can't deal with the fact that 15% or more of the party feels the same way, then you're not addressing the needs of all of the party, and you will lose again, not because WE didn't vote, but because YOU refused to address our issues AT ALL.
