    Well, what we’ve been doing thus far hasn’t been working.

    Only a fool would keep trying the same thing but expecting different results.

    I think the real stupid ones are the people voting for the ‘lesser-evil.’ Maybe if they lost a few elections they’d change their tune.

    Funny how it’s always progressive’s fault, though. If a moderate loses? Progressive’s fault for not ‘falling in line.’ If a progressive loses, though, nobody will blame the moderate for not ‘falling in line.’ If a Progressive wins, nobody is going to acknowledge it’s because they were progressive.

    It’s a lose-lose all around, and that’s by design. I’d rather stop pretending that the lesser-evil leads to improvements because it does not. They’re both just looking out for different rich people, and in many cases the same.

      I agree with and understand a lot of your frustrations, as they are also my frustrations.

      But you basically said “I’m tired of voting for the lesser of two evils, so now I will vote for the greater of two evils.” Just vote 3rd party or something, and try to not take it personally when people are assholes about elections.

        Yeah, I could vote 3rd party.

        I guess it would depend on how flippant the establishment democrats and their constituency are behaving.
