All that being said I will vote for him, holding my nose................

Should also note that there is a socialist party he could (and probably should) run under. Its called the Socialist Party of America.

Should also wonder why in the hell he is running as a Democrat as he refuses to join them and is NOT a Democrat!

Look at our kids. Nobody born after 1993 has even the foggiest notion what any Blue Dog or "moderate centrist" is talking about.
The reason is, they've NEVER KNOWN what our capitalist system felt like and worked like.
All they know, as adults now, is the Newt travesty, the Hastert Rule, 9/11, the 2007-8 meltdown, Obama being systematically denied even his constitutional right to lead, the Tea Party, lack of healthcare, higher education that costs as much as a Lamborghini, and Trump.
At this rate, they will never know what owning their own home feels like. They will never know the prosperity we grew up with prior to the 1980's.

So the moderates and centrists can get as hysterical as they want about "socialism" but when our kids hear it, it sounds like something that is a whole helluva lot more fair than what they've known their entire adult lives.

So they don't give a rat's ass about the hysteria, and the moderates and centrists only have themselves to blame because they stood back these last thirty-five years and hung their heads in shame and tried to appease Newt, Dennis, Bush and Trump and all the weaponized GOP operatives instead of fighting for what's right and just and fair.

And I don't blame these kids when they tell the moderates to go shove it up their bung-holes. Why would they feel any different?
