Voting Democratic is the BEST way to fight the DINO's and the Beltway [View All]

[Ken Burch]

I know there's a lot of things to be angry about. There have been a lot of disappointments.

And a fair amount of people, through legitimate feelings of frustration and rage, have called for not voting or expressed the idea that it would "teach the Dems a lesson" to lose this fall.

Thing is...it doesn't WORK that way.

Every seat we lose this fall, every chance of taking a seat from a right-wing 'Pug that slips away, every state legislature that flips away from us, allowing the 'Pugs to gerrymander the legislative and Congressional district boundaries and game more races against us in the future, is a VICTORY for all the people who've caused the problems this fall.

It's a victory for the DLC(who want the post-1994 "moderate" era back when an ever-more right-wing "Democratic" president is the only non-Republican that matters in D.C.)

It's a victory for the Blue Dogs(who want to hold the balance of power and force this party to govern almost exactly like the 'Pugs would govern.

And it's a victory for the Beltway establishment of our party, an establishment that never WANTED a new era or idealism and grassroots mobilization to take root in this country.

Everything we believe in is at stake.

The best way to express your anger at the failures of the last two years is to make sure this party, IN SPITE of the wishes of large sectors of its own leadership and some of its biggest donors, does WELL this November.

Get out and work. Get out and donate. Get out and vote.

BEAT THE BASTARDS AND STOP THE TRAITORS!

Let's win this thing.
