She seemed to be talking about the people who have become disenchanted, disillusioned and discouraged by what politics has done, and do not vote because of it. Many of those people would vote democratic if they do vote, but have decided that because the system doesn't work for them, there is no point in trying. I support reminding them that if we keep democracy alive another day, we will give ourselves a chance to get the system to work for them.

Clearly that won't happen if we re elect Trump and allow democracy to die altogether.
