(5,648 posts).... who make up minority of the Democratic Party feel that they feel that they ought to be running every thing and that everyone else should bow to their wishes. When they don't get their way in their attempt to drag the party as far to the left as possible (and in the process scare off the independent decide Presidential elections), they sit on the sidelines and pout for awhile while bitching about rigged election.
Some never get over their anger and vote third party or sit home on election day and suck their thumbs. Others "hold their noses" or otherwise unenthusiastically decide to vote for the Democratic candidate as the "lesser of two evils". Only a few transfer their loyalty totally to the Party's nominee. Do all of the other contribute money to the general election campaign - no, of course not! Do they contribute their time and talents to the campaign - definitely not! Heck they think it is a major sacrifice if they just vote for the Democratic nominee.
Then after the election they come back to DU and loudly proclaim, "our candidate could have won" or in other words, "see, next time you non progressives better vote for our candidate or we will lose again".
I have but three words to describe those ultra liberals - self absorbed hypocrites
