58. "I'll have to sign-off of DU if a corporatist Democrat is Nominated"
You would leave DU because thousands of people who don't even know DU exists decide to vote for someone whose policies you disagree with, whereby that person becomes the nominee?

Or you would not vote at all? I don't understand. That isn't the way to "not help financially destroy our middle class." It's a form of taking action by not acting at all, sort of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, or, in psychobabble, it's called passive aggressiveness.

I think I recall from past posts that you're in Oklahoma, so maybe you have the luxury of abstaining, but every vote counts, if only to prove the strength of a candidate against the GOP, the wannabe rulers and empire-builders.

I hope I'm interpreting your post incorrectly. You're a valuable voice on this forum. There needs to be strong opinion from all perspectives.
