You see I work against the right trying to help people vote, because the right works day and night stopping certain people from voting.
Now it seems I have a second front to fight against, alleged liberals who go to liberal message boards and encourage others NOT to vote.
I dont have the resources and time to fight both.

(41,694 posts)It's just when you get this:
"ps
I am so left i have to turn around twice to see something on my right side"
Then I categorize it as self-righteous bs. NONE of the hard core ultra-leftists I know would make a claim like that. I know some that make Trotskyites look conservative.

(37,549 posts)I cannot begin to describe to you the level of contempt and nausea I feel for people who say that they will sit out and not vote this next election.
I have countless Election Day stories about people denied the franchise. people turned away from the polls because of spurious racial reasons.
Telling me you're not going to vote means that you are secure in the privilege of knowing that you would not be denied the polls......and that smacks of elitist privilege more than anything else.

(37,549 posts)the vote......and it makes me sick. I vomit in my mouth when the privileged tell me that they will not vote.....I wish the people in the polling places I visit had that privileged person's option.

Anyone who does not vote or works to suppress the vote has no business on a Democratic web forum.
