re: Is it more important that your candidate wins, or beating the Liberals no matter what?

There is no one capable of damaging this country more than an establishment Democrat elitist. So I will do everything possible to keep one out of power. I can deal with an anti-establishment anything, I can deal with a homeless person being elected president as long as they are not a neoliberal, establishment Democrat. I do not like this situation but I accept the reality of it. I would prefer to be in a situation where even if the candidate I do not prefer wins I can deal with the consequences (also known as normal American politics from the 1970s through the 1990s) but that is not where we are at. I would love to get back there but the modern Democrat Party has carpet bombed that road back into the Stone Age.
