"I used to believe this as well: "At the end of the day I support who I like in primaries, but if democrats choose someone who isn't as progressive as I like, I accept the fact that I am in the minority.", but am no longer willing to go along with it. It has only gotten us DINOs representing states that are safely blue in every way (read: CT). Nope, I will never again vote for "the lesser of two evils", if the Democrats continue to be so stupid (or cynical) as to think that's the only choice they need to give us to win an election. I wouldn't enable an alcoholic, and I have stopped enabling the Democrats."

I am different, it is against my morals to allow republicans to win. The fact that they control all branches of governement has hurt America greatly, and I couldn't live with myself if I let it continue without trying. As long as there is a difference between two candidates, I will vote for the better candidate. I guess you will come back and state the meme that was started by Nader in 2000: there is no difference between dems and reps. It was just as much a lie then as it is now. How many DLC candidates voted against the minimum wage increase? Oh, thats right, NONE. It was defeated by republicans and republicans alone.

So you would sit out of the Nelson Ricketts race in NE, and if every dem was like you, Ricketts (who is a frightening candidate) would win and we'd be one seat further away from majority. One seat further away from getting more dems on committees, getting dems to head committees. You are comfortable with that. I am not. And fortunately, most dems are not like you.
