All conservatives have to do to make that happen is convince a few million of us that OUR candidate is not liberal enough and that we should protest by staying home and not voting. And they are MORE than pleased to have the "Democrats" here at DU help them.
Let's face it, it worked when Nader did it in the 2000 election. Worked like a charm. Remember his mantra - there is no difference between Gore and Bush? Remember that? Remember how many justices Bush appointed to the USSC? Remember how we got Citizen's United, which did more to destroy our democracy than any other single USSC decision in history?
Worked in the 2010 and 2014 mid-terms too. Let's all sit home because Obama is not liberal enough. Now you have a republican house and senate to go with it.
You want to see all hell really break loose in this country? You think we can't be more screwed than we already are? Let republicans own every branch of government. Oh yeah, it can get worse.
The only thing Reagan ever said in his whole life that made any sense was "thou shall not bash a republican." They know how to win. We, on the other hand, know how to help republicans win.
Foolish. Just foolish. You can discuss policy differences without bashing other democrats. Try it. Please.
