must not have any skin in the game if he was telling people not to vote. It must feel great for him to have the opportunity to sit out elections and not have to worry about Republicans doing anything to him.

Meanwhile, the rest of us either have to worry about them cutting jobs, benefits, blocking minimum wage increases, eliminating voting rights, or all of the above.

He really put it into words that DU has had a hard time coming to terms with. If you don't vote for fixing the situation then the situation won't be fixed. It's that simple.

I voted, and I am very disappointed that so many people who have been and will be harmed by a GOP-controlled Congress didn't bother to vote.

But I do feel compelled to point out here that the Democratic Party as a whole -- especially the Third Way neoliberals -- are part of the problem that needs fixing. Voting for candidates that fall into that category does nothing to fix the problem, though it would mitigate the damage if the Dems retained control of the Senate.

this is what Democrats do!....we don't whine.....we VOTE!

Funny how some here do not like democracy very much.
