And, you're right. They need a reason to vote.

Too bad we weren't smart enough to give them one.

Wouldn't that be something! packman Apr 2016 #1
Not to mention, if that happens, a left-leaning Supreme Court. ::swoon:: NT Grown2Hate Apr 2016 #113
Florida will not go Hillary, nor will the dem senate candidate win. ViseGrip Apr 2016 #2
That is true. HooptieWagon Apr 2016 #7

Democrats are unwilling to fight, then we could lose. Hiraeth Apr 2016 #44

The point is that you have to give people a reason to vote. Dawgs Apr 2016 #61
You're making excuses for bad behavior. Voting for the best candidate is always a reason to vote. LonePirate Apr 2016 #66
Ah, that's where you are missing the point. Dawgs Apr 2016 #70
I'm missing nothing. Their laziness/refusal to educate themselves has caused our dysfunction. LonePirate Apr 2016 #73
Understand, you're talking about something completely different now. Dawgs Apr 2016 #74

Fine, what's "the reason"? n/t Dawgs Apr 2016 #81
To avoid SC justices like Scalia, Alito, Thomas, and Roberts. tblue37 Apr 2016 #83
Those are NOT reasons to vote FOR someone or something. Dawgs Apr 2016 #86

That is such myopic garbage sharp_stick Apr 2016 #11
The Corporatist Dems are the ones making "the parties are the same" true. Don't blame the messenger Vincardog Apr 2016 #16
So true. Go, Bernie, go! GreenPartyVoter Apr 2016 #28

I am aware of the think tank, and they have as much to do with the mainstream Democrats as beastie boy Apr 2016 #105
Your post is not true in a few different ways Bradical79 Apr 2016 #109
Just because the term "Third Way" has been used before, doesn't mean it hasn't been co-opted by beastie boy Apr 2016 #111
Again, you are wrong Bradical79 Apr 2016 #115
If you say so. beastie boy Apr 2016 #118

If you say so. Chan790 Apr 2016 #59
Do you seriously see no difference between President Clinton and President Trump? beastie boy Apr 2016 #45
...as opposed to be being strangled with the nomination of fake Democrats? Chan790 Apr 2016 #49
Thankfully, you do not decide who is a real Democrat and who isn't. beastie boy Apr 2016 #53
But I do get to decide who I don't consider a Democrat. :) Chan790 Apr 2016 #58
