to vote for a Grand Wizard of the KKK for president. I know I'm making an absurd comparison but this one "it" issue for us explains that we may be expressing some reluctance to blindly back the winning candidate. This ain't our first time to the rodeo.

I understand that supporting a candidate who doesn't support ALL my issues is mature and proper and benefits the greater good. But do not expect us to support an end-game candidate who doesn't believe we are equal citizens. It's that simple.

That is not a petty issue, and as much as you may dislike the fact, if in spite of all effort to the contrary we end up with such a candidate, we will likely abstain from voting.

Vash said earlier we should support the candidate most likely to win. Just figure this factor into the equation then, that the candidate most likely to lose if he can't cover our missing vote is not the candidate the democratic party should be supporting.
