And as I already said, my state is a healthy blue state so my not voting won't matter. I can afford to make my statement. You have forgotten that part of the equation.
The Dem Party used to stand for the working people of America. Get me a candidate that does that and I will vote for that person. Party ideals matter. Why should I vote for moderate Republican policy just because the person has a 'D' after their name? I won't do it. I didn't vote for Reagan either. Unfortunately I voted for moderate Republican police 4 times in my life and I don't plan on doing so any more.
If you really want to save lives you will vote for someone who is actually fighting for those lives, not selling them down the river with policies that benefit the 1%. But as long as people keep voting out of fear and lowering the standards they hold the Dem leadership to, they will continue to slide to the right towards big money.
