Reply #41: Actually, you mentioned a former democrat.

Who gets to determine at what point on the left-right spectrum a democrat has to be on before you can oppose them?

Is it dogged support for the Iraq occupation? Opposition to choice? Proposing anti-poor flat taxes? Voting for a bankruptcy bill written by your biggest campaign contributor?

Who gets to draw that line?

I would vote for Hillary, because I believe that for the most part she would do the right thing.

But if Biden got the nomination, there is no way under the sun I would cast a vote for him. I'd probably not vote for the first time in my life.

My desire is not to hurt democrats' campaigns. But I would like to see the most right-leaning, and most corrput dems LOSE, and I would like to see the party realign itself to represent the interest of working people again, not just corporations and rich people.


The repug grassroots were able to realign their party to the ultra far right. Why are we wrong to wan to do the same thing for our party, in the other direction?

Or do you buy into Rush's fallacy that "most Americans are conservative"?
