As I said I did not expect you to get it.
But the irony is actually funny as hell.
Please proceed, oh and I did notice you never dealt with the CBC call for just one Senator to stand with them. I also find that curious. You people ignore all the multiple layers and blame only the voter.
Go along life like that, because part of the fault actually lies with you. And I mean that by not asking why did voters not just walk but run to the booth to vote for Gore? Centrist policies like NAFTA are part of that. Both parties pushed for that. Same with TTP. There are areas where you can scaresely see light between the two parties. At least at the national level, and people have been screwed by them. (Hint, foreign policy and trade)
I particularly don't give two shits about it. I know I will vote, who I vote for is definitely my business and will cover the elections like every June and every November and every special election.
But yes, Democratic Party zealots, who call other Democratic Party activists names, are now depressing the vote. It is funny, and perhaps even, worthy of a news story. Though that be in an extremely slow news day. Today that it is not.
By the way, I prefer if that particular voter shows up at the ballots, but given the harassment, yes harassment, I have seen here, and experienced as well, and continue to experience, I fully get it. If these are my allies, who needs enemies?
Oh and one last thing, I am in my 18 year old mode when I first voted in Mexico City, I do it to keep in practice, cause you know what? The solutions are not in the booth. If we are to retake this for the people, like the 1880s, it will be a lot of blood, sweat and tears.
