Poll question: fearmongering
fearmongering is an ugly tactic usually reserved for times when the people, who had in the past given support,no longer show support.
it comes in all shapes and sizes one size fits all
it is a tactic of last resort
a rallying cry to continue allowing people to act for you against your best interests
do this and that will happen...you dont want to make the bad thing happen do you?
when i vote i vote for the best candidate for the job
i do the research i listen and learn
if a candidate of a party dispkeases me i deny them my vote
my vote is the money of politiics and if i refuse to do business with those who act against my will that is fair and good
no one needs to justify their personal vote on a national scale
i dont and you dont either
when i walk into the booth and vote in nov i will lean to the democratic candidates
sadly they are few here and the ones i would give my support to are outside my district
but those who do not DESERVE my vote will NOT receive it
i will leave it blank
it makes me sad to see impeachment threads and other ridiculous rumoring
to try to frighten people back into the herd
try being better sheperds and you wont have to chase so many sheep
try listening and we wont have to yell so loud

meek for senate dont drop the ball for once florida!

there needs to be a vote of no confidence on the ballot too. That way if candidates from both parties are Wall Street flunkies at least you could let your displeasure be known. Staying home doesn't really get that done.

If they get enough no confidence votes they should have to offer new candidates for consideration.

I'm not sure how we could get it done and I'm sure we could. The "lesser of two evils" voting is getting damn old to me.

What prompted this babble? The part of your post that reads, "those who do not DESERVE my vote will NOT receive it."
