Agreed, but...
...there’s the reality of the situation and there’s why it doesn’t matter that I agree with what you posted above.
I can sometimes understand refusing to vote for a party you don't align with out of principle but when you've got a Republican party this extreme currently, hard to view anything other than a Dem vote as a sensible one. I don't like a lot of their policies but they're clearly far less extreme than Trump's mob.
Go on the streets and protest against Trump.
Vote for the Green Party at the ballot box.
We all would like the Dems to be more progressive but that is stupid.

Why aren't i surprise .Same people probably voted for Jill Stein and that imbecile Gary Johnson. Which could have made the difference.
Ah we're back to the "Blame the third party voters" game, I thought that had peaked when Nader (and his voters) were blamed on here for the Iraq war.
you people are insane. even if we ignore that green party voters would never vote for a democrat. even if you give all the votes this guy got to the democrat he still would have lost!which kind of proves the point im making. if the people who voted green are willing to vote for this guy, then they truly would never vote democrat
Its astonishing how close the result is in Kansas. They still have to count the provisional ballots.
(the Dem candidate is a Bernie-endorsed leftist)
Make it so....
1754 vote difference with 3435 provisional votes left to count. Fingers still crossed even with the 1127 votes going to the guy with the alien ancestors.
Blame Wave.
Anyone who thinks this pic is a coincidence is smoking something. Putin doesn't just randomly bump into people and get randomly seated at random tables.

Who knows. Maybe his taster had the day off.
Not everyone is against Bernie Sanders, but there are warning signs for Our Revolution based on the results so far.

Democrats need to settle this issue sooner than later.
Its a sign that the Dems need to take their wins where they can get them. Whether its a progressive candidate in one district or a centrist in another - they all count towards taking back the house so the Dems would be wise to broaden their tent as widely as possible.
i dont agree with the povs in those articles. generally the left arent going to win primaries against the establishment, thats why they are the establishment. there will be more days like these than days after crowley was defeated. but the issue isnt going to be settled any time soon. theres no way for the centrists to placate the left. the movement for a living wage wouldnt be over if fightforfifteen happened tomorrow. next it would be fight for twenty. theres always going to be a struggle for progress
Butting in a bit late... wasn't the tea party massively funded by benefactors after it gained some steam?
yes
Certainly helps when hundreds of millions of dollars, hate talk radio, and a certain media outlet are spreading one's ideological message to the masses.
Would the tea party have accomplished much/asserted itself without the clear & dark money pouring in?

If the idea of our revolution is just to pull the party to the left, would you be ok with them continuing to be the martyrs in every election with centrists sliding towards left contesting in general elections? That's the dilemma here, if they can't win primaries, they can't compete in general elections. If they can't compete in general elections, they can't write policies. There's just no point in fighting for primaries and becoming disillusioned to vote for Harambe/Jill Stein.
i reject your premises. they can win primaries and they can win general elections (#berniewouldhavewon). they cant win them all, which i guess is a good stick for the authors of those articles to use.
Ted Cruz BEGS Trump For Help

Dems could pick up that seat
Thought it's a safe GOP seat?
That was before the GOP guy got arrested and has since said he's suspending his campaign. With the blue wave in play, the Dems could pick it up.
Good run down of tomorrow's primary contenders.

Jesus doesn't stand a chance of winning so you should vote for Darth Vader to keep out Mecha-Hitler. That's what a true liberal would do.
