Yeah, I know the Democrats are wimps and many of them are outright slime. But don't be too quick to dismiss the "lesser of two evils" argument.
We are where we are today because of the Republican Party. Imagine if they had more than the power to just say "No." They already control the message because of Fox "news" and hate radio. Imagine them in control of one or both houses of congress where the damage they can do is unlimited.
The crimes committed by Cheney/Bush and their thugs are countless and something no one could have imagined back in 1999. Yet, as bad as their reign of power was, the GOP has gone completely insane since Obama's election. And if they control the congress, it would just be a matter of time before they tried to impeach Obama for jaywalking.
Do you really want to see any more power in the hands of people like Sharron Angle, Rand Paul, and the herd of other crazies currently running for office? Not to mention that the next governor of each state will be responsible for redistricting and guess which districts will get wiped out.
So sit out the election if you're that pissed at the Democrats. But don't complain about the results.
New campfire; franksolich and Oscar Wilde bumped into each other coming ashore on Skins's island.

1. And the DLC
"We are where we are today because of the Republican Party."
The GOP didn't sign NAFTA, or deregulate banking, or pass DADT. The GOP didn't sign DOMA. The GOP are scum, but the DLC has aided and abetted them all the way along, including dumping the public option.

Someone as stupid as you and your fellow primitives are screwed anyway. But you've done it to yourselves.
