Nobody's entitled to my vote just because they're Joe Schmo D-CA. I'll vote for the person who I think best for the job, be they Dem or Green. If the Rs ever run somebody who isn't a complete fucktard (unlikely in the extreme presently, but who knows years from now?) I'll give that person due consideration. That's just how democracy works.

For that matter if we offer our slavish devotion to the party, we shouldn't complain when they don't serve our interests and court our vote. After all they know we'll be there and voting dem no matter what, so we lose leverage. We still have a little voice in that scenario due to campaign money, but it's not enough.
