Okay all you progressives, liberals and other like minded individuals, take a deep breath and walk away from the water cooler.  I know there are some that cannot stand Hillary Clinton and think she is an anathema to the progressive movement and all it stands for. There are others that are just as passionate and are against Bernie Sanders.

If you are in that category welcome to Politics 2.0.  It's messy, confusing and guaranteed to raise your blood pressure. However if you decide to stay home and not vote if Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders gets nominated, then you elect Donald Trump or Ted Cruz. You will in effect empower the two nominees in a presidential election the guarantees a Republican president.

Do any of you progressives, liberals or others remember when you stayed home during the mid-term elections and elected Mitch McConnell and Rick Scot again, not to mention other House and Senate republican members and how much every one of you boo hood about that election?

Well, I have news for you, if you stay home and not vote you will give more seats in the senate and house to to the Republicans. If you stay home and don't vote for the Democratic parties nominee you will only have yourself to blame when President Donald J Trump or President Ted Cruz stands and places their hands on the bible and takes the oath for President of the United States and are stuck with either of them for the next 8 years. Now think about that all you who hate the thought of Hillary Clinton as President or Bernie Sanders of President. If you stay home you will elect for the next 8 yrs either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.

You will also give control of both houses, House of Representatives and the Senate to the Republicans.  A worse scenario than the mid term elections in 2008.

Take a look at the rural vote in 2012 

"The lesson seems to be that there are a lot of Democrats living in rural communities who just don’t vote — or they don’t vote unless they have a good reason."

Okay how about not having Donald J. Trump or Ted Cruz for president. Think people think!

Why Democrats Lost the House to Republicans in 2010

Again and again, Democrats, Progressives and Independents shoot yourselves in the foot.  If you want to stay home in 2016 if Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders is the nominee do so. If you do stay home don't tell your friends because your absence at the voting booth was a vote for Donald Trump or Ted Cruz. I don't want to hear a sound from any one who does stay home.

Vote either one who gets the nomination Hillary or Bernie. It's your only choice.
