69. Like I said
withholding a vote means nothing in this society. We (left of center) are not a voting bloc that has any real power. We are always in the position of "lesser of 2 evils." That is the ONLY choice available to us. And the Dems know they can count on our votes because we have no place else to turn. So FORGET voting as a way to "say" anything.

It's not about votes so much as having a voice. We still have a voice, but we have to be heard in other ways.

Voting or not voting? :shrug: This means nothing in America. Not voting as a strategy is :rofl: naive, romantic, stupid.

Vote The Party and then work in OTHER ways.
