    The alternative is not running conservative candidates who never do anything for their base. That’s the alternative. You all act like it’s a monolith. That the liberal Democrats have to by some law of nature run these conservative Democrats who never do anything for the people. There’s no law about that. There’s no reason that has to be true. But if they choose to keep doing it they are choosing to lose. Because they’re the only side that are trying to do something that is destined to fail no matter what.

      I am not in control of that. The best I can do I sign petitions and vote for the third party when they show up on the ballot in the primaries, and if my candidate doesn’t win then I vote for whoever stands the best chance* against the republican candidate.

        Well you can also not advocate for the critically failed and doomed system. You could give that a try. Because while you may not control who they run you sure do support them publicly and audibly telling them no matter who you pick I’ll vote for you no matter how much you screw me I’ll vote for you I’ll vote for you no matter what. And maybe that’s a bad message to send them.
