(393 posts)Hillary Clinton is the putative Democratic candidate. Like a pro football team's recently drafted QB waiting on the sidelines for an opportunity to play, we voters, like the players and coaches, may disagree on how the team is being run, or what players should next take the field, but that does not mean that we ever, ever, ever root for the other team or stop playing our guts out to win for our own team.
Democrats, I'm sad to say, are pretty lazy as a party. We stayed home in droves in the midterms, and look what happened. The current sad state of gridlock that replaced the previous gridlock is our own collective fault. All we had to do was show up.
No candidate is perfect, but a NON-vote for the eventual Democratic candidate is a YES-vote for the Republicans. Remember that next time you sit out an election.
