(18,439 posts)to do the right thing is to remind them of the consequences of the 2000 and 2016 elections. Too bad that a gentle FAFO doesn't seem to work on those folks.
Third party voters and those who "protested" by staying home fancied themselves as morally superior in both 2000 and 2016. How many times were Democrats subjected to the bleating refrain "the lesser of two evils is still evil", as if Al Gore and Hillary Clinton were objectively even remotely evil? Which Democrat is going to be next on their "apocryphally evil" list?
We all have to live with the consequences of the 2000 and 2016 elections. Third party voters and those who couldn't bother to vote have to live with the personal consequences of their decisions.
Democrats don't want it to happen a third time in this relatively young century.
