So the democrats weren't willing to stand up for what was right due to the heat, and possibility of damaging their political careers? Why again do people vote for these spineless shits?
Even if they actually would stand up and do the right thing here and there, your vote means so much more if directed at a third party.
Even if said 3rd party never gets elected, just the fact that you sent that vote their way anyway, says "Look, I'm fed up with both of you two parties, and I want change. We need something new."
I still disagree with you though. The democrats may occasionally stand up for civil liberties, but they still occasionally piss on them (aside from the 2nd amendment), and they are certainly not a fiscally responsible party, nor are they anti-war.
Again, while I like the fact that the dems stand up for certain civil liberties more than the republicans, the gun issue is a major stain on their platform, and moreover, their lack of ability to take a stand for what is right due to spinelessness.
