I will vote Democrat in the general election. There is no other choice.
I joined this site because it was about electing Democrats.
Yes, the more progressive the better.
The simple fact remains, for me, is that whoever can win the nomination has my vote in the general.
I will not have to hold my nose to do so.
I am not going to cry, wail, and lament if my preferred candidate, yet to be determined, is not successful.
I am not going to pontificate how we have made a mistake if my preference does not win.
The system we have gives you a binary choice.
It is that simple, no matter how frustrating you find it.
Complaining about that system does absolutely nothing about how the 2020 election will take place.
It is out of the realm of reality to argue about what should be for the 2020 election, because you aren’t going to effectuate that change for 2020.
Until you do in fact change the system, it is a damn poor excuse, in my opinion, to wail about the “poor choice” your had to vote for the Democrat.
It is inexcusable, again in my opinion to argue a vote other than Democrat.
If you feel compelled to state you will hold your nose to vote Democrat, I would ask you to please explain how it is odious to vote Democrat vs. Republican.
Not why it should be different. Tell me, and everyone else, why it makes any sense in 202 to vote other than /democrat.
I don’t care who decides to run in the primary.
In many ways, the more the merrier, because I firmly believe the 2020 primary will settle a great many arguments.
Say whatever you want to say about any candidate, his or her stances, history or policy, just do that within the rules of this site.
Accept that people are not going to agree with you, and that if they don’t it does not mean they aren’t democratic or Democrats. Disagree as much as you want, but do it in debate.
Attack the argument, not the individual.
He sucks, she sucks, they all suck is an opinion, not an argument.
If you can’t manage these things, and cannot or will not accept the rules and prohibitions of the site, if you actually have to hold your nose to vote, ask yourself very seriously why you want to be on a site that exist to elect Democrats.
