There's your solution, you undecided and conflicted folks. Just stay home on election day. Pay no attention to those down-ticket races. They don't really matter, now, do they? I know...you're a Republican....it's OK. Nobody is required to vote in the United States. It's OK if you stay home. Take your kids to the park. Walk the dogs.
Take a break on election day. You don't really have to make a decision. Just stay home. Send the message that says, "Want my vote? Show me a decent candidate."
Republicans? Just stay home. That'll show the party you mean business...

(31,507 posts)I'm pretty certain they won't vote for Hillary either, but that's 3 fewer votes for Trump. They will probably vote on the down-ticket races, however. We have medical marijuana on the ballot this year and they are dead set against it.
I've let them know that I'm very pleased with my candidate.

(3,660 posts)to see that exact action espoused here for left leaning voters who find Clinton doesn't "inspire" them, as if we need the 10th muse to teach us the basis on which to make the choice whether a competent center-left global politician or a lunatic apricot bigot with all the personal self-restraint of a toddler gets the keys to a multi-trillion budget, the NSA, the final arbiters of US justice, and the nuclear codes.
