(22,562 posts)It seems that Republicans tend to look at voting as their duty. Who knows how many hundreds of thousands of Republicans who didn't like Trump but still voted for him because nominations to the Supreme Court were important to them and that worked out well in their choice.
Way too many voters on the Left are like little children and need to be excited or motivated to cast their ballots. We've been hearing about how so many young people are fired up now but unless they show up and vote next month it is just hot air.
My state of Wisconsin got handed over to the Republicans in the 2010 midterm election when it was totally controlled by the Democrats when too many voters on the Left just couldn't be bothered to turn out and vote. Walker was elected governor and Russ Feingold lost his Senate seat.
When we abdicate our responsibility to vote in every election then those who choose not to vote do get what they deserve along with the rest of us who did vote and don't deserve what we are getting.
