right wing...doesn't matter if you vote for some self serving money grubbing lying idiot like Stein or stay home...you betray your neighbor,your supposed party and your country (not saying you specifically). I am tired of the threats (again not saying you) give us what we want even if we lose because A. we refuse to believe this is a center left country and the moderate rust belt is the key to victory in 20 and beyond no matter how many times folks show us the electoral college maps or B. we don't care because having a pure candidate makes it worth losing... winning isn't the most important thing and all...also known as political suicide...again not you. C. My personal favorite...it is our turn damn it to have a progressive candidate...the candidate of our dreams...you are just and old meanie to bring up electability. It is not a thing.

No matter how you cut it...we only win when we are a big tent party We can't get the senate or presidency without running a moderate candidate (in moderate areas for the Senate). In fact, we took the midterms with moderate voters...progressive shuffled Democratic seats around which does us no real good in getting the numbers for majorities. So decide if Republicans are always worse than Democrats...Spoiler they are always worse. Thus vote Democratic always always and always.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
