Reply #102: No, a great many progressives who see no difference between the [View All]

conservative dem who hands power to the republicans and the republican who opposes the conservative dem will NOT vote for the 'lesser of two evils'. They (like the 12 million Obama kids who did not show up this time around) will stay home and watch TCM because they feel there is no point in voting for someone who will work against their interests - regardless of party.

"If Sestak did not win, what proves that the Republican would have lost to someone further left that he?" Think about it - if the left did not, obviously, turn out for him OR his opponent, where are they?

The way to get them out of the house is put up good, liberal, progressive candidates who will fight - maybe lose, but fight nonetheless.

As for why Grayson and Feingold lost, despite being good liberal democrats, you ever hear of Citizens United? Do you have ANY idea how much untraceable cash was poured into their opponents' coffers?

As I said, repeatedly, over the past six months +, we need to have somebody to vote FOR, not merely someone to vote against. You don't engender voter enthusiasm by saying "I'm not as bad as the other guy."
