“Not Voting” is Not the Answer

 

To my #Progressive friends, let’s face it, not voting is not an option. And voting for #Republicans is opposite of everything we want. My solution is to vote for as many Progressives as we can for Congress and keep pressing #Democrats to do better as we continue to add more #Progressives and their allies to the Congressional ranks over the next several years. 

Other things we can do is start distinguishing to the mainstream media, on every opportunity, that you are not
a Democrat. Be bold about your decision to be progressive and explain why it is important to have options other than Democrats and Republicans. And, although you may decide to vote for Democrats, until more progressive candidates can be elected, let your preferences be known. 

The goal is to change the make-up of Congress... fewer non-progressive Democrats and way fewer Republicans. If we want better legislation, this will be necessary. It is always better to have liberties and

not exercise them by choice, rather than be in a strict society where any perceived infraction will lead to imprisonment or some sort of punishment.  No woman, or health care professional should be jailed for making decisions concerning her health care and body.  And this is only one of the issues.  Republicans and conservatives have gone way overboard making decisions about things the majority of Americans don't want or need. And this needs to stop.  I say vote all of the Republicans out.

We have waited far too long for change, which on occasion looks like it is going to occur, only to be delayed until... next time.  That's a fault of the Democrats.  They have been placed in power to affect and effect change, and they still seem to have to ask the permission of Republicans.  Progressives are and will be the game changers.  They listen and they go forward to legislate. 

That is what we need.  The more progressives we have in Congress and even the Presidency, the better chances we'll have in getting better wages and some type of Medical care for everyone.  Your vote matters.
