Once you don't vote your ideals... that has serious undermining affects. It erodes the moral basis of our democracy.

I can no longer stomach the systemic political decay that has weakened our democracy,

We don't have a democracy. An election is supposed to involve choice. We don't have a choice.

We can't simply stand by idly and watch democracy and our government be turned over to the commercial interests of the giant corporations who have forgotten where they came from, which is the U.S.A..

The 'democracy gap' in our politics and elections spells a deep sense of powerlessness by people who drop out, do not vote, or listlessly vote for the 'least worst' every four years and then wonder why after every cycle the 'least worst' gets worse.
