Kavanaugh: ELECTIONS. HAVE. CONSEQUENCES!

[LBM20]

WAY too many of our voters sat out in 2014 and 2016, allowed the R's to dominate at every level of government, and this is the shit sandwich we are now eating.

Republicans don't give a flying shit about protests. As far as changing policy, they are almost always a complete waste of time.

Dems/Progressives of every demographic and location need to stop protesting, stop bitching, and start VOTING.

The party needs to run strong candidates and have a strong messsage that people like and want to vote for.

Take the rage to the VOTING BOOTH! Take it to the streets knocking on doors, making calls, dropping literature, putting up signs, and making donations (even five dollars helps).

VOTE VOTE VOTE! Next month we have a chance to sweep out the rotten GOP for a generation at all levels. Let's do it.

1. Guys in my union used to say if you don't vote, don't bitch.

[GeorgeGist]

2. Many of us can bitch,protest and VOTE!

[mythology]

3. The protests shouldn't stop.

Yes voting matters, but so do protests. The Republicans need to know we're not going to be ignored.

[Amishman]

6. Nothing wrong with the protests, but they don't accomplish much

Republican politicians aren't swayed by them because they know the protestors wouldn't ever vote for them anyway.

The Republican base isn't swayed by them, as they are out in the suburbs and rural areas, and protests happen almost exclusively in cities.

Protests only real purpose is to try and keep our most active supporters engaged. Protests are a form of preaching to the choir. Nothing wrong with it, just not as effective as we might want.

4. Indeed. In 2016, many who thought enthusiasm and anger translated to actual votes

turned out to be sorely mistaken.

We won't survive "not just any Democrat" crap this November.

That is the moral equivalent of treason in this day and age.

[Trust Buster]

5. We should not repeat the mistakes in 2016 in 2020.
