1. No thanks

but good luck on your quest to drive millions of voters away from the Democratic Party. Sigh.

2. I'm sorry, but I fail to see how replacing conservative Democrats with real

Democrats will drive millions of voters out of the Party. There are only 3 candidates listed on the site, all are actual Dems, not 3rd party candidates....

6. It's simple... I'm not sure why some folks can't comprehend it

The reason they got elected in conservative districts is because they AREN'T "progressive" Democrats. If they had been they would have lost to their Republican opponent. Exchange a Blue Dog who votes with you the vast majority of the time for a dyed in the wool Republican who votes against you all the time... that's a winning strategy.

7. But the mob mentality is so much more fun!

I mean with the torches and the pitchforks and all!
...

Not to mention half of the officials that people claim are "Blue Dogs" or "DINOs" don't even fall into that catagory, but that doesn't get in the way of people's preset thinking, apparently.

9. Mudoria nailed it

Progressives in conservative areas are not elected because we do NOT want the progressive agenda dictating our lives. And to be quite blunt about this, the majority of them will vote for a moderate Republican over a progressive every chance they get.

5. I simply refuse to vote for another Blue Dog.

And I would encourage all progressives to follow suit. They will soon get the hint.

8. My days of holding my nose for the "not as bad" candidate are over. knr

Politicians have to earn my vote, they aren't entitled to it because of a letter behind their name.
