voting *against* the lesser candidate, and getting a center right pol instead - I am done. I will be voting FOR candidates from here on out - regardless of their ability to win. The dems went DLC with the Big Dog, and DLC is nothing more than corporate friendly politicians with moderately "liberal" social policies (as long as they don't cost corporations anything)
Screw that, and screw them.
I will donate time and money to candidates who support a progressive agenda. If the Dems lose control of the House or Senate as a result of progressive flight, too bad. Not like they were acting on progressive agendas anyhow. Screw 'em if they can't take a joke!
