Reply #18: Absolutely! It's either our way or just let the Republicans stay in power [View All]

I mean we had primaries and cleary since the rest of the country didn't support our candidate then fuck em, we'll show them by allowing the Republicans have control because we all know how much better it is to have Republicans running this country.

Only a dumbass would not understand what Mr. Todd is talking about. You heard it - a dumbass. This electorial system SUCKS - which means you can support the democrats or you can think "It's all about Me" and help elect republicans because some of the candidates aren't perfect.

I was at a booksigning for "Crashing the Gate", which was written by the guys who own the blogs DailyKos and MyDD. They spoke alot about how we need to change the democratic party from the ground up and get into place the democrats we would be proud to support, I mean that's what his book is all about. But the thing is this - even THEY knew that after the primaries are over with, we all might need to support a few bad democrats to get that majority because without a doubt, we need to ge the republicans out of control.

So seriously, this is the democratic underground and we're here to support democrats. We had the primaries, we had some great wins and some disappointments. But I would rather spend the next couple of years fighting my DLC, Lieberman supporting, torture supporting democrat Tom Carper, who will from time to time get it right when it comes to Environment, CHoice & Labor, than to spend that time fighting a republican that I know will get it wrong 99.95% of the time.

I only have so much time to fight this congress, let's not make it any harder than what it is.
