"answer the question" sounds very demanding. That is the problem with online communication. It is so easy to read in motives that are not even there.

I am happy to answer your question. I have no intention, no reason, no possibility that I will vote for McCain. I will vote for Obama. My point is that every other democrat should too. What do we do to make that more likely?

I would like to address two of your points since they relate to my post...
• Obama supporters here continue to infuriate you because they are so mean and anonymous internet posters continue to rule your life
• Nobody here gives a damn about extending an olive branch

Screw you loser, vote for me is not going to work as an election strategy.

I've been reading DU since 2005 because I enjoy various opinions on political topics. In 2005 I was especially interested in election fraud. I have been interested in politics for 40 years. I am anything but furious however. I am very concerned that enough democratic "losers" may stay home to swing the election to McCain. This could make the election close enough to steal. Then we all lose.

I was not writing about myself, I only have one vote, so it does not really matter what I do...but, then it does matter if a lot of people feel this way. If extending olive branches brings in more votes for the democratic nominee, what is the cost to you for doing that? At some point all Obama supporters should be interested in extending an olive branch. What is the cost if a lot of democrats with one vote apiece do not vote for Obama...do not vote for anyone? We all lose. That was my point.
