An idealist must become callous to disappointment and steadfast in their ideals. I'm not a fair-weather voter. My "bubble" will never burst because I'll never compromise on my principles.
Also, you can't take back what was never yours. I've never been a Democrat. I was born into a Republican family, then I skipped right over to Libertarian, then Green. The Democratic party would need several fundamental shifts in their very core to even begin to entice me. If you can show me a Dem party that will put the whole of the world before the US, a Dem party that can't compromise on matters of the environment, a Dem party that will provide for the common defense, and most importantly a Dem who will never compromise with an enemy of the USA, then maybe, just maybe, I'll think about switching. Right now the Dems are a bigger mess than the GOP. At least the GOP can get together and get something done, even if that thing is to start wars, steal oil, spy on our own citizens, or kill people.
