Guess I won't vote at all.

Or, if I just go and kill one of my neighbors myself and drag his corpse to the polls with me as proof, would it then be OK for me to vote? Would just one neighbor be enough?

not voting isn't a 'vote' to save your neighbors. Don't fool yourself into thinking it is.

From the Terms of Service:

"...But when general election season begins, DU members must support Democratic nominees (EXCEPT in rare cases where were a non-Democrat is most likely to defeat the conservative alternative, or where there is no possibility of splitting the liberal vote and inadvertently throwing the election to the conservative alternative). For presidential contests, election season begins when both major-party nominees become clear. For non-presidential contests, election season begins on Labor Day. Everyone here on DU needs to work together to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of American government. If you are bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for our candidates during election season, we'll assume you are rooting for the other side."
