I agree with more eloquent Sifu Tweety. Electability is a bullshit way to pick a candidate for president. Especially when we judge electability based on how half-assed a candidate is on the issues. If we are going to trust the system of primaries we must vote for the candidates we want to win, not the candidate we think middle america independents will want. Everyone looks to McGovern as evidence for what happens when you pick a candidate with your heart, not your head. But it is not 1972 anymore. Vote your conscience in the primaries and I suspect we will end up with a good candidate. A truly “too liberal” candidate just won’t win the primaries. I agree with Dennis Kucinich on the issues, but I guaruntee he won’t win the primary, even if every democrat votes for their favorite candidate, with no political calculus involved.
