2. Wholeheartedly agree

Vote! To protect the taxis at least!

3. Sorry 'not as bad as the other guy' doesn't cut it for me. This is how we got in this mess.

I will not vote for anyone I consider to be unfit for the job no matter the letter next to their name on the ballot.

4. Yup, which is exactly why you need to nominate the right person in the primary.

The one who everyone says they'll vote for in the general, not the one that half of folks say they won't for if she wins the nomination.

5. K&R. If you won't vote for the pres'l nominee at least show up and vote in the underticket races.

Somewhere, running for something, there must be someone who passes the purity test.

6. Purity test?

Give me a break. You want people to show up and vote, but you insult them. Good job.

8. Some people seem to require their asses be kissed or they won't be bothered to get up off of them.

10. There is a difference between kissing an ass

and campaigning for a vote. Apparently Hillary can only kiss the rich's ass, but refuses to campaign for people to WANT to vote for her. Politicians aren't owed votes, they have to earn them.

11. I accept your take on Hillary but that's really not the point I'm trying to make.

My point is that if someone can't in good conscience vote for a presidential ticket, don't use that as an excuse to stay home from the polls. Show up and undervote. Somewhere down ballot is someone running for another office who you can live with voting for. If we don't vote, we don't matter and we just perpetuate the problem.

13. You were the one who said purity test

that is an insult to Bernie supporters, as you should well know. Many here will not vote for Hillary, but will vote down ticket, and they have already stated as such. The trouble with Hillary as the nominee is that those who aren't regular voters and only came to the political process because of Bernie, may very well stay home. Insulting them about a purity test won't make them want to vote down ticket, it will just make it more obvious that they aren't welcome in the election process.

9. We have three million registered Democrats in Pennsylvania,

and ended up with teabagger Toomey!

12. If you don't vote, you don't count.
