10. If you are trying to say I should vote (or not vote)

and support - or not support - a Democratic nominee depending on what my conscience states, you would be in the vast minority on this website and in violation of its terms of service.

Or perhaps you’re just testing my loyalty.

I have watched people get banned ftom this site for doing so. I have read ad nauseum that we should “vote Blue no matter who,” that “On this site we support Democrats,” and that “You fall in love during the primaries, and fall in line in the general.”

After seeing the results of the past, and seeing an actual pedophile become president because people were unwilling to support someone with much less baggage than that, I now would support Jeffrey Dahmer himself over Susan Collins as long as he was the Democratic nominee. (i would hope for better vetting before that became my only option, of course.)

Your mileage may vary. I’m done caring about the baggage one of our nominees carries.
