Let me get it straight.

George W. Bush is so horrid that we must do all we can to make sure 
that we squash any challenger to the left of the wretched Democratic 
nominee and ensure Bush's removal and the Democrat's election.

If the wretched Democrat wins, activists who helped to elect him 
should turn out in massive numbers to protest the said Democrat's 
inauguration, but if the wretched Democrat loses and loses worse than 
the previous wretched Democrat who ran in 2000, activists who opposed 
Bush's re-selection have no reason to protest, because the horrid 
Bush won the popular vote fair and square?

Does that make sense to you?
