    And you only choose to constantly belittle anyone who isn’t 100 percent ecstatic with everything the party does because you want to.

      So, I’m constantly belittling myself? I am not 100% ecstatic with the Democratic Party and never have been. Thing is, I recognize what an existential threat the Republican Party has become. In the general, the choice is you either support the Democratic Party (warts and all) or you are essentially supporting this threat to the country.

      I wish it were otherwise, but wishing won’t make that so.

        You prefer ridicule to understanding, even when understanding stands a a chance of getting back lost votes. Ridicule does nothing to help you.

          I wasn’t aware I was running someone’s campaign. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to question what kind of motives people have if they don’t get behind the Democratic Party in the face of a very radicalized Republican Party that will apparently cast aside all democracy in their will to power. And who have members in their base that constantly talk about civil war and murdering other citizens.

          Primaries? Sure, of course. During the general, though? There are only going to be two actual choices.
