Some Democratic Candidates Running in the Mid-Term Elections Are Not

sufficiently progressive. That is a fact.

All of those Democratic candidates, however, will vote with the Democratic caucus at least 80% of the time. That is a fact.

No Republican candidate will vote with the Democratic caucus on any progressive legislation. That is a fact.

Help Democrats get elected. It will be better if Democrats win than if Republicans win. That is a fact.

2016 is the next election. The ballots are already printed for this one. That is a fact.

GOTV 2014 and Beyond!

This so fucking depressing. That is also a fact.
And, if true, my enthusiasm level is in the minuses. Another fact.

Oh, and I voted a few days ago. Straight Dem. Florida.
