(69,033 posts)maybe the message is off...you have to win...and right now the far far left, alt left( hate that phrase) whatever you call such folks are not getting elected...in order to have influence, you have to win...and if you act as a spoiler...you will not be liked nor will folks want to vote for you ... not the ones who want to win anyway. I cast my vote for a candidate that I want to win...I would never waste my time voting for a Stein who has no chance. My vote is not a 'message'. If I want to send a message to the DNC, I write them a letter or call. Also, there is a mixed message being sent...you can not endorse candidates like Mello and Perriello while ignoring a much more progressive candidate like Ossoff and not have voters wonder what in the world you are thinking. We desperately need Ossoff to win and it is a tough battle in this particular seat.
