16. Stein voters: lost cause, tiny sliver. How 'bout we talk about getting non-voters to the polls?

There is a vastly larger chunk of gettable voters; many don't vote because they aren't all that motivated. Many don't vote because of work or family obligations, or because GOP suppression tactics work (voter ID, registry purges). Those are all things that we could help address.

Continuing to obsess on Stein just makes us look seriously mentally ill.
