On average 50 million registered voters do not vote in presidential years

Another 50 million or so of eligible citizens do not bother to register to vote

Over 7 million registered Democrats voted GOP or "other" in the last two elections

They do this year after year for all kinds of reasons and parsed justifications and will continue to do so forever.

Some are just so "pure" that they can't vote of any "corporatist".

Some will claim they are just too angry their losing candidate (Clinton, Kucinich, Huckabee, Romney, whoever) didn't get nominated and they will sit this one out.

Most are so divorced from the idea that politics makes any difference in their lives that they just don't bother.

To that tiny handful on this tiny website who are so self-righteously claiming any of the above this year, you'll have a whole lot of company... you are an unimportant nano-drop in an enormous bucket of non-participation. That's fine with me... you won't be noticed or missed on November 5.

As for the rest of us, let those of us who care about this country and the world elect a Democrat for President and a working majority in the House and Senate... oh, and save the Supreme Court and what few liberties these fascists haven't taken away from us yet.
