This is a position I don't (really) understand ...
By pledging your support for life to the Democrats regardless of what they (or the Republicans) do you have essentially made your desires meaningless to either party; after all the Democrats don’t have to do anything to maintain your support, and the Republicans can’t do anything to win your support.
If you notice the people who actually get listened to by either party are those individuals who are in swing states, or in identifiable groups who’s vote is perceived to be "up for grabs".
