I'm suspicious of anyone who is trying to get me to ignore this election because "it doesn't matter" or because "the party is sending the wrong message." For all I know, people who do that may mean well, but it's the wrong message this close to election day. The message right now should be "Get out the vote" and nothing else. In every state and ever district, voting on November 4 makes an enormous difference. That's all that matters right now.

Spot on.
