I am challenging the NON VOTERS. not the voters.

No one is challenging anything that you are saying.

Has our party failed us, yes, in many way it has, I am not talking about that. You have to work for change from within the party and if not, then you have to start a new party. Is that what you advocate? If it is... then that is where you loose me.

We have a real and valuable advantage this year. The Republican criminals are fracturing and we must seize this advantage by unifying and not fracturing ourselves. We can only stop them if we deny them the levers of power.

I believe in Bernie too, but if he is not the nominee of the only viable political party we have then I will vote for the nominee, and so should you, unless you think that splintering the party would do anything but allow another Republican presidency and that must not happen.

Unfortunately we have to work with the political structure that we've got unless we have a revolution to replace it. Is that what you think is possible? Then we play the cards we are dealt and press for change later, after we have kept the Republicans out of power.

I don't see that we have another play.
