Is it wrong to just run?

High school student: Do we believe something wrong with two candidates with similar beliefs running against each other?

Perkinson: "I think that's exactly what should happen."

Zuckerman: If Progs ran hard in every race with D, the "you know what would hit the you know what." (i.e. Republicans would win.) That would set the issues back.

Perkinson: If individuals want to run, they should run. You're suggesting that decision should be made by somene other than voters.

Comments:
This is what primary elections are for.

Why don't the progs understand that?
 
"Zuckerman: If Progs ran hard in every race with D, the "you know what would hit the you know what." (i.e. Republicans would win.) That would set the issues back."

Ya mean like when Tony ran against Shumlin and gave the Lt. Gov's seat to Dubie?
 
No, you WISH that's what primaries are for... why would I want to vote for ANYONE who doesn't support the things I do in a REAL and concrete way?

The question here means *every* city council seat, district seat...

Guess you guys don't agree with your man Jakers there?
 
We totally agree with Jake. The Progressive Party has a perception problem.
 
If you agree with him, why suggest that progressives should confine themselves to primaries and not run in elections? See comment #1.
