(15,438 posts)the people in this country. It is my civic duty to vote in ALL elections, even for a singular election for the board of a local college (which I've done and what was the only race in that election!).
In 2012, our Senator Feinstein was up for re-election. She had a primary challenger, Mike Strimling. I'm not a huge fan of the right-of-center Democratic Senator in my State and voted for Strimling in the primary. My candidate, unfortunately, wasn't chosen. But I didn't pout and wail and whine that i wasn't going to vote for Senator Feinstein. I understand that this isn't about me. It's about my State and my country. So I didn't take my ball and march off the field. I voted for Senator Feinstein and advised my group of millennials to do the same, and she won easily.
