“I have never understood how maintaining some misguided sense of philosophical purity is more important than defeating democrats.”
You seem to worry about defeating “Democrats.” Democrat is just a party, same as Republican. I vote ideaology; not parties.
I vote ideology as well. I vote to defeat the vile and destructive democrat party ideology the best way I know how.
The primary is the time to vote FOR someone. For the general election, if you can't vote FOR the republican, vote to defeat the democrat.
See my tagline. I think republicans are often wrong. Democrats are nearly always wrong. So democrats need to be kept out of office. First, destroy the democrats. Then work on the republicans.
I vote this the most clueless post of the day - and that takes some doing.
For one thing, the last democrat in Washington was Joe L. - There IS no democrat party any longer. They are card carrying Socialists = wake up folks
