It's not REALLY Democrats that we are "for". It's for people who have a truly progressive mindset and are willing to go to Washington, D.C., put their nutz on the line and fight.Of course, that tends to be Democrats (rather than Republicans). But within the ranks of self-defined Democrats, there are all types. Many of the wrong type, get elected. Part of being a "wrong type" gives you an automatic advantage over those who are not willing to play games. The only thing we can do is focus on getting as many progressives in office as possible. I like what Cenk said about supporting Act Blue. I'd considered doing so before, but he laid out a clear case for why I should do that, rather than some of the other options available to me. The other thing is to do what our fellow member DCLawyer06 wants to do. Identify progressives in swing states and send direct support to their campaigns.
It's another day in paradise...
