It is your right as an american to make an informed choice of who you will or will not vote for. My opinion is that our present POTUS has faced an immense amount of repug thuggery and skullduggery. He had a 20 day window in having a democratic majority. With the bluedogs fighting him also he faced an immense uphill battle. I was let down myself at first. but on learning of the repug-thug plan to deny him,with their filibuster ANY victory for the american people, I got angry. The racism, stupidity and ignorance displayed by the repug-thugs and their tea party, yes little t, little p, cronies, says it all to me. If you abstain, you're just hurting yourself and millions of others. If mitt the dips... wins you're screwed. Period. At least with the current POTUS and hopefully a majority democratic legislature you have a chance to enjoy a real human being in the white house who I think cares about all american people. So you have to do what you have to do, but you don't have my respect. No voting and you're a democrat? That's kind of cowardly to me.
okay after spending the last hour reading the responses you generated. You are voting, got it.
