Please...can we end the "dump your candidate and jump on my bandwagon" posts?

Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 10:05 PM by TwilightZone

Many, many people have a lot of time, money, effort, and emotional energy invested in their candidates, and the simplistic calls for them to dump their candidates are ridiculous, and, frankly, a little selfish.

As far as I'm concerned, the financial and emotional investment that people make in their candidates earn them the right to support them as long as they damn well please.

Besides, we should really have better reasons to endorse our candidates than "because your candidate is a loser" and/or "because that other Democrat must be stopped!"

Right?

Rant off.

1. People should vote their hearts in the primary. This is democracy at its best.

7. More often than not, it's having the opposite effect than intended.

I definitely agree with the :sarcasm:

6. Point taken.

I just find them insulting, and I don't even have a candidate yet. Sorry.
