I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

I started having bad feelings about the election when I was watching a progressive podcast and they all cringed when talking about Harris campaigning with Cheney, then shrugged and said "what other choice do we have?"

That is not how you energize your base.

    Why energize a base when you can force the people who have to vote for you to effectively vote for the war criminals who aided in the death of the kind?

    The DNC knows they have anyone who is targeted by Republican policies, so they can treat them as a safe secured voting base. They bully anyone who doesn't vote for them and then wonder why no one likes them in a national popularity contest weighed by land over people.
