If your least favorite Democratic candidate wins the Primary, what will you do in response?
1)Vote for that person happily.
2)Vote for that person begrudgingly.
3)Vote third party or write-in.
4)Vote for that person and campaign for him/her. "Campaigning" can mean whatever you want it to mean. It can mean donating to their campaign, volunteering for their campaign (phone banks, knocking on doors*, etc.), or even just speaking well of that candidate on Facebook or Debate Politics.
5)Stay home. If you choose this option, it is assumed that you will smugly declare that you had no part to play in Trump's re-election and you certainly can't be blamed if the wrong Democratic candidate won the Primary. So if Trump wins, reshapes the courts so they lean hard right for three generations, freezes elections and becomes President For Life until he appoints Donald Trump Jr. his heir successor, it's totally not your fault. After all, part of being in a democracy is the right not to vote, even if that choice results in the destruction of that democracy. But seriously, if you vote for this option, you totally suck and don't deserve to live in a democracy. For thousands of years humanity has lived under chieftains, monarchies, dictatorships, emperors, oligarchies, plutocracies and theocracies and 230 years into one of earth's first democracies, you choose to stay home and give up a right billions of people before you could have only dreamed of. Kill yourself.
*Volunteering for a political campaign, knocking on doors and engaging people face-to-face is the single most effective way to energize people to vote.
