"I'm becoming an Independent because not all the Dems voted against cloture." Seriously, guys, WHAT THE FUCK!?!
Maryscott said that she would NEVER give to a Democrat who voted in favor of cloture. Yeah, I completely understand. Ben Nelson, phwah, what a Bush suckup. Why isn't he a liberal? I mean he only represents Nebraska. People are overreacting here and I don't fucking get it. Are we going to skulk all day and turn our backs completely? I hope not.
What on Earth is there to acheive by voting third party? Nothing, nothing, and nothing AT ALL. We are dismantling our hopes, our unity, our future with all of this childish behavior. We represent the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. We will not always get our way. Quitting on our best chance for ridding the nation of Republicans won't get us back to square one, it will bring us back even further.
This stupidity is helping the Republicans. That means more Alitos. So, by dividing our party, we are creating problems and the potential for more Alitos. We will never overcome with a divided liberal base. If we want problems solved, then we don't solve them by putting our nation's future at risk, we use something called communication. Letters and phone calls don't always work. If you want results without serious long term consequences you start internal factions, groups, whatever you want to call it. The more people you get, the larger your voice. And we don't create a massive rift on the left either and tear each other to shreds. DailyKos is a good start. But we have to keep from straying to far away from the flock.
I beg you, please do not leave our party. I look forward to when we have the strength to overthrow the Republicans. Don't tear your future, our countries future, and the world's future. I know I'm not the best writer hence only three diaries, but think about it. Please.
I'd also just like to note that RedState is making a joke out of our threats of chaning to Idenpendents. They are "adopting Kossacks" who have indicated who have commented on leaving the party.
