Not sure I like the tone of you saying that we don't agree with you, then we are white and privileged.

I'm white, female, and definitely not privileged.

We have to vote for the better of the two who are running and have the best chance of winning. To do otherwise it to ensure that all you and I and others hold as sacred human rights issues will be at risk. But voting for a blue dog Democrat protects that. If the blue dog is anti-choice, the reality is that it probably won't make one bit of difference. It might, but it probably won't. ONE Democratic Party vote probably won't have any effect on that issue, IF there's even a bill about abortion. But that blue dog will lock down and be yet another vote supporting gay marriage, health care, wage equality, environmental issues, foreign policy, etc.

Also, when we label a Democrat as anti-choice, we should look at how hard the person is on the issue. There is a spectrum.

If Democrats wait for the perfect candidate, they won't be winning elections. That's the reality. You choose from what's available. I wouldn't not vote for a candidate for not being everything I want, while I wait for 100% of what I want somewhere down the road. That's not the way government works. Once a Repub gets in, he'll likely keep his job.
