    No you’re delusional and think refusing to vote blue for personal grievances somehow is going to do something BESIDES create another trump situation

    Can you even give me an example of when it’s appropriate to not vote? And what do you think the consequences will be for people who don’t live with mommy and daddy and actually have to pay bills.

      That’s a lot of words that do not address the criticism contained in the meme.

      https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/dems-urged-leave-blank-stop-175507391.html

      Lon Johnson, a former Michigan Democratic Party chair, and David Kramer, a longtime Democratic strategist who has previously helped elect Democrats to the Senate, are leading the effort. Both supported Rep. Haley Stevens over El-Sayed in the August Democratic primary.

      “Supporting a candidate after a hard-fought primary is an act of party unity, not a surrender of principle,” the pair wrote in an op-ed for The Detroit News. “Democrats (who were) asked to set aside their differences for Abdul El-Sayed had every right to expect … a commitment to earn their trust, address their legitimate concerns and unite a party whose nomination he won with less than 50% of the vote.”

      “He has failed that test.”

      Johnson, in an interview and in the op-ed, said he and Kramer have been under pressure by Democrats who support Rogers to vote for the Republican. But they chose a different route, one they say keeps them true to their ideals.

      “For many of us, there is dignity in leaving it blank,” they wrote.

        So basically you refuse to vote because you FEEL undignified even if it’s logical to vote anything but Republican
