We, as activist progressives, must lead the Democratic Party into the future. Its really THAT SIMPLE. Unions, youth, liberals..... all of us must take it upon ourselves to somehow wrest the political discourse of this nation back from a minority party (The GOP) who only outnumbers us in one critical way: voting turnout, especially non presidential elections.
With this as the truth, its upon us to simply do one thing: VOTE!! And get others to vote. Its my opinion, that unless each of us does this SIMPLE act, something that is the root of what our society is supposed to stand for, we lose the right to complain!! There are many armchair pundits here on this site, many of whom vote. But there are many on DK who, despite their desire to see a more progressive and liberal America, dont exercise this most basic of duties as a citizen. Quite frankly, I would rather have everyone vote that to have the noisiest of us simply pontificate. THIS COMES DOWN TO THE BASICS PEOPLE.
With this in mind, lets take a poll, and please answer this with 100% honesty!!
HAVE YOU VOTED???
