Reply #20: All 3 of those things also apply toward Democrats in the middle

as well as more conservative Democrats. They are also part of this party and deserve to have their voices and viewpoints heard. I am a Liberal, but enough of a realist to understand that the Democratic nominee cannot pander solely to the far left and still get elected. I would hope that our nominee, who is sure to be mostly a centrist, would at least listen to the more liberal views and incorporate as many as possible. I am not willing to bite off my nose to spite my face. I will vote for whoever wins the Democratic nomination.
