Yes, in fact I am a "leftist" "libtard" democratic voter.

Who do these candidates think are going to knock on doors, make phone calls, register voters, volunteer at our precincts, drive people to vote? Independents? Moderates?

Our anger is real. We are over and beyond sick of getting screwed by half measures and republican compromise. Democracy is on the ropes. Stand up and stand for the constitution before it’s too late.

This is in GD, because it’s not directly about the primary.

IAlso, I think your post is a great example of why Bernie Sanders had such an effect on the last two elections. He was positive about his beliefs (which he's consistently held for decades) and was an example that people wanted to follow and vote for. In 2016 he was the first to say what he said. Thanks to that, look how many democrats now speak up with similar liberal beliefs.

Fact is, I will never ever even consider voting for a republicon piece of shit for any office.

But I'm tired of my vote being taken for granted while simultaneously being called "extreme". I can and will vote for the Democrats on the ticket, but I just can't get enthused for an establishment corporate-friendly type. Republicons have shown who and what they are. We need kick-ass liberal democrats who will defeat them and deal with them the way they deserve.
