That is scary. I don't give a rat's ass what label someone on the left slaps on themselves when they run for office. Liberal, progressive, Democrat, socialist, Democratic Socialist, none of that means shit to me. How the platform they run on aligns wuth what I want is more important than their label.

I do care about results and being able to work with peers to get those results. Tea Party 2.0, The Left, is not appealing in yje least. I do care about having some kind of workable plan to achieve those wanted results.

I'll vote for the Democratic Socialist if they are the better candidate to get things done. I will not vote for the candidate that relies on fairy dust and magic in the plan or has a plan that relies on what the world ought to be instead of what the world is. If I wanted to deal with made up bullshit instead of actual objective reality, I would be a GOPer.

So I ask again, stop poking or what? You'll continue to make up ways to pretend you're aggrieved? You'll vote for the GOPer to teach everyone a lesson? You'll stay home because you don't get your pony right now? You'll insist on candidates that can't win a general election where they are running?
