29. you centrists

seem to think that the Democratic party only belongs to you. For the last 2 elections the centrists have lost or have won but did not fight against fraud. Why not let a progressive leftist try? Then the left wing/workers branch of the Democratic party could tell you, " what you won't vote Kucinich? You are going to elect a Republican?????" Hell if the Democrats look likely to win control of the Senate and Keep control of the House we could have a centrist goverment by having a Repub pres and a Democrat legislature. Why not go for it all? why not go for a Democratic legislature and a progressive leftist Democrat like Kucinich for president.

Why do you folks think that it is ALWAYS up to those of us on the left to vote Democrat by default because their centrist candidate is less to the right than the Republicans?

If you folks want the Democratic party to represent the people that vote Democrat and people that do not vote because centrist and right wing politics do nothing for them perhaps you should think of running different kinds of candidates. This is nothing like the situation in 1992. The Republicans are toast today.
