How would that work?

Do you really think more Democrats simply give up on voting in a tight race? For most people isn't a tight race, either just a little ahead or behind, all the more reason to feel your vote is important?

FUD would only help Trump by fooling people into thinking we're WAY ahead or WAY behind.
