    Judging by their performance in the last three presidential elections with absolutely zero course correction, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

      Given the number of people in this thread stating they’ll never vote Democrat again I don’t expect that to change.

      I’m pretty pissed at the system myself but in no way am I going to encourage more Republican leadership. Which is far far worse than what we would get otherwise.

      It’s really weird to shoot yourself in the foot just to spite your hand.

        We didn’t shoot ourselves in the foot, the Democratic party did in a failed attempt to court more right-wing voters.

        It’s shooting yourself in the foot to stop foot cancer that was metastasized from hand cancer, to correct your metaphor. And the actual alternative is to start doing some Luigi’s Special towards every CEO and politician.

        We’re not there yet, so voting third party, even pointlessly, is the only effective action left.
