(36,418 posts)Q2: "most people on the left do not vote. Even when registered, they stay home." In whose studies is that evaluation based? I was under the impression that those who don't vote are without definite ideologies, the uncommitted, the young, the very poor, and those who feel no particular commitment to political change. There are very few actual leftists in America, and even fewer of them have determined to not even vote.
Q3: "When they come to sites like this and see a bunch of negative things, it confirms their misguided belief that voting is pointless." What makes you think there are "a bunch of negative things" at DU? Lots of skepticism and dissent over policy, or is that now bad and forbidden?
Q4: "The tea party will have the keys. We cannot risk that. WE CANNOT RISK THAT." See Q1. Who appointed you DU election-time enthusiasm police?
All this makes me s-o-o-o enthusiastic. Rah rah.
