Reply #40: Then I really misinterpreted your comment and I apologize.

I had originally responded to the post (since deleted) saying s/he was going to write-in Bernie Sanders. I got on the roll that Bernie isn't a VIABLE option. He would never win.

I feel the party is moving too far to the right - DLC on the march, which is why in an IDEAL world we would have a more progressive party (the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party as Paul Wellstone said).

I see a WORLD of difference between Obama and any Republican and wouldn't dream of not voting or writing in someone else thereby (I'm convinced) giving the Republicans my vote.

One of the things I keep saying to those who will not vote for Obama is -- if you think it's bad now, you have no idea what we'd be in for if a Republican gets the Oval Office.

So we're both on the same side and again, I apologize for totally misunderstanding your post -- I was on a roll but as usual, none too clearly.

The only thing I'm currently doing is attending the meetings, visiting the site, supporting local "progressives". I'm not chomping at the bit for a third party, I'd just like the Democratic party back but don't know if that's possible at this point.
