That, along with this result and the idea that DU is broke. If most people believe DU should welcome all kinds of progressives, and that people should be able to support third-party candidates over Democrats - then clearly they don't understand the DU rules or they don't agree with them. This is where DU is broke.

Currently, Democratic Underground does not permit members to advocate voting against Democrats, or in favor of third-party candidates (except in rare cases). Should members be permitted to support left-of-center third-party candidates on Democratic Underground, even in races where Democrats are running?
