1. They aren't hoping. They are actively working on disenfranchising Democrats n/t

[louis c]

4. and many Decomcrats are disenfrachizing themselves

by even thinking about not voting for the Democrat in November.

Maybe we don't get everything we want in this election, but we will survive to fight another day.

The important issue in this election are the Supreme Court appointments and the thousands of other life-time tenure judges appointed by the executive branch. Hillary's appointments won't be much different than Bernie's. Trump's will be dictated by the right wing of the Republican Party. Women's Rights, Voting Rights, Worker's Rights, Civil Rights and Gay Rights will all be at stake and those decisions will stand for more than a generation.

Any progressive who sits on the sidelines in this election, or even worse, contemplates voting for Adolf Trump, will be making the biggest mistake in their entire political life.

9. Exactly. But to far too many people,

not getting what they want you want means tearing down the system.

The reality is that they would not be tearing down the system. They would be handing over absolute control of the entire system to the madmen they loathe and fear. And they would be handing over that absolute power to those who will institute everything they're trying to prevent.

11. Sure.

But it is too bad the Party insists on shoving an extremely flawed candidate down our throats. The way was cleared for Clinton at the expense of giving voters real choices. There is much more that is important than just identity politics.

12. I dont' think

There is anything more important that keeping Trump out of the WH. No matter how much a person does not like the nominee, that nominee would be a at least a thousand times better than Trump. We have come a long way since George W. Bush did his best to destroy this country, and he did good job of trying, but even the mess he left president Obama wouldn't be near as bad as what a president Trump would do to this country.

If Democrats vote, we win, if Democrats stay home, it helps Trump win. I will vote for our nominee, no matter which one it is because I know what would happen if I don't. Every vote counts, no matter what anyone says, and both parties are NOT the same.

2. Thanks for posting

3. Unfortunately that list is very appealing to far

too many Americans who are thoroughly brainwashed by right wing propaganda. Republicans have been frighteningly successful at getting people to vote against their own best interests.

6. It isn't hard.

You just appeal to their fears, inadequacies, prejudices and greed. Emotion is easy to market. Reason is not.

[brer cat]

10. I second this post!

You nailed it very succinctly, sulphurdunn.

[MisterP]

13. and a bit rich coming from a party dominated by a faction reliant on voting for fences, denying

Medicare to millions, selling SS and fracking, and voter caging

[catbyte]

5. Yikes!

7. It ain't who votes. It's who counts the votes. - Ohio, 2004.

8. omg. that first picture borders on sacrilege! isn't that Lincoln's chair?
