Every time Democratic candidates fail to appease progressives and every time they blame the voters. Sorry for having standards but I can not in good conscience vote for someone funding a genocide.

What about TRON PAUL
Do people in the US actually refrain from voting because their candidate is "boring"?
Ha! Yes. The usual voter participation in a given election is typically 40% or less.
Yes. Elections in the US aren't really about convincing people to vote for you, it's about convincing the people that already like you to actually vote.
The number of undecided voters or those that actually vote both parties is basically irrelevant. It's all about getting as many people that support you to actually vote.
Ok, well, put out more likable candidates that get votes then. Stop expecting people to vote for a candidate just because they "aren't the other guy." You want people to vote for your candidate? Stop cherry-picking the next anointed one and saying "here they are, vote for them!"
Goddamn. And Democrats wonder why people think they (we, since I'm registered as one) are so out-of-touch and condescending.
