is not the same as supporting Ted Cruz. In fact, when Democratic Party conservatives tell non-conservatives to shut the fuck up, they are only helping to further the conservative group think at the "center" of both parties.
The Republican party agrees with many/most issues Democratic Party conservatives agree with - corporations legislating public policy, defense policy, spying, fracking, offshoring, free trade agreements, anti-union, privatization, increased retirement age, market based solutions, etc.
When Democrats turn their backs on basic principals of fairness and justice while embracing Republican economic values, they aren't helping Democrats, they are only helping Republicans.
To everyone not satisfied with the status quo, to those who have the courage to stand up and demand something better, to those who have vision and passion for working families left behind as Washington festers in an orgy of corruption, keep the pressure on.
You don't understand how important this is. Don't let the conservatives win, no matter which party they claim to belong to.
