      Not voting for a democrat you mean? I think leftists would vote for a left wing candidate if you Dems can ever bring yourself to nominate one for President. Otherwise it’s just more of the same.

        Cornel West ran, non-voters exist because they are happy with either front runner winning. If they wanted neither then they would protest vote.

          Most non-voters I know just feel entirely hopeless that any election will lead to improvement. I always vote (and always for a 3rd party), but I’ve stopped giving my non-voting friends a hard time. As one of them said: “I don’t vote for the head of the KKK either!”
