(110,159 posts)We are talking about demands made. You know how many people are demanding I beg them for their vote? Not gonna do it. It is like the vote being ransomed. Personally, I think htat is chicken shit. I do not respect that. Personally. I feel a greater responsibility and feel that in voting to. Educating and being informed. Make our choices. I feel strongly it is that important to get a Dem. I do not buy into the meme that both parities are the same, or that it is a lesser of two evil. I think that is lazy or wrong thinking. I hear it often. From my own people, and like I tell them, if you truly believe that, do not vote. Who am I to say. Our right to do what we want with our vote.
Also, from my perspective, how I see things. Clinton has a very progressive, very doable, and I think better policy than Sanders. But, even if one does not believe that, with any type of honesty, her plans are progressive and they certainly kick repugs ass.
So.... I feel that a person will vote because they know it is important and if they don't? If I have to buy their vote? Nothing will satisfy them, and they won't vote anyway. I would rather direct attention to others that are more opinion. Possible votes is just not great enough for the aggravation or the selling out or the time, effort or cost.
Way back when I tried to have a conversation about why one voted fro Dem, regardless and too many people said, .... No way, no how.
Ok, I believe you all.
