Lookit... for the same amount of effort spent trying to console and flatter ONE "bro" and convince him/her to support the party (and with no guaranteed results come election day), we could instead spend the SAME amount of effort with NORMAL "get out the vote" efforts... and normal "grow the party" registration efforts. For that SAME effort trying to "save" one bro... we could instead bring dozens or hundreds of new voters to the party and into the process.

So... fuck 'em. Let 'em go. We don't have time for that emoprog bullshit. Welcome to the real world... it's time for them to grow up. Trying to blackmail the party with threats of "leaving it blank" or voting for Trump, etc etc... that doesn't work with me. I don't care. Do it.

If someone REALLY his hell-bent on being like Sarandon, or Krystal Ball, or Nina Turner... or anyone else who gleefully votes AGAINST the Demcorat... that's just one more idiot that I don't have to worry about. There are plenty more rational and intelligent and reasonable voters (or potential voters) who can take their place.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
