No. There is literally nothing that can happen and certainly nothing I can say that will get spoiled centrists to ever accept that in order to get voters to the polls, you might have to get only 98% of everything you want.

You need to court voters. You consider such behavior beneath you.

The party is willing to throw anyone but Netanyahu and Cheney under the bus and has no fucking clue at all why people stay home.

Second worst isn't sufficient to win. Blaming the voters because you don't want to be better won't change that.

And primary season?! What primary season? Democrats haven't had a primary without a preordained winner since 2008. We didn't even have primaries this year. And the last time centrists didn't get their very first choice in the primaries, they formed a PAC to get McCain elected. Don't preach about primaries when they're a sham and you always get what you want out of them.
