Reply #20: The "conventional whiz dumb" huh?

As long as I've been on this planet, such bullying and blackmail has been the currency of the right wing. It has been the common 'rationale' for nominating (so-called) moderates because those 'centrists' would otherwise vote for the right-wing GOP candidate.

Indeed, it has been claimed over and over and over again that the Democratic Party cannot nominate a Jimmy Carter or George McGovern or Dennis Kucinich or other solid liberal candidate because the 'moderates' have a HISTORY of walking away and voting for the right wing neoconservative.

The same tactics were used to hijack the GOP ... a refusal to support a more progressive Republican unless the insane bigots and zealots and corporatists were served.

Let's make this clear: the same poltical ideologies refusing to support the BETTER liberal candidates have been actually voting GOP (NOT merely staying away) for decades when they didn't get their way. It's like far too many "Southerners" have done - refuse to support any ticket, R or D, on which a soutnern candidate is not listed. And liberals have been the losers. Enough.

Fuck whose who want it one way - further right and increasingly Fascist.

It's past time for people of conscience to stop enabling fascist fucks who've taken both political parties further and further to the right ... and now want to denigrate and threaten anyone who'd try to use THEIR tactics - the tactics of threatened loss of support if they don't get THEIR way.

NOBODY has the right to tell me how to vote. It has to be earned.
