The Democratic Compromise

With the Loyal Left Dems + Loyal left Independents we hold the key to winning and they know it.

The time has come that we get our just rewards. If they want our votes, they're not coming free.

Compose a Grand Democratic Compromise and if they ignore us then we stand united and HRC loses.

The Dem Party is split, the Loyal Left and the Selfish Corporatists and the only way the Party wins is unification.

We are tired of takers, always taking and demanding and rarely giving

If the corporatists don't care if it is Bush or Clinton we have called them out and everyone now sees they are the Emperors without clothes.

If they use the repub tactics of hate (you're not a Democratic if you don't vote for the nominee, so leave the party) and fear (SCOTUS will doom us) and won't compromise, it is they who will elect a repub President.

I will not accept the projected blame for voting my conscience and interests as opposed to doing what I am told.

When you have 2 evils it's being enslaved, a forced choice not a FREE choice.

Sending them the message that once again, the voters will hold their noses, is definitely the wrong message. They are counting on that, they don't care what we want, just so long as THEY get what they want.

The fear tactics don't work so well anymore. We did that, know the results, and are no longer impressed by them.

They have time now to rethink pushing THEIR choice on the people and provide a Democrat people can vote FOR rather than the 'lesser evil' we are constantly told is the 'way to go'.
