I think its quite obvious that the people I'm advising to get out and take action are the people who... aren't? I'm well aware that action is being taken and that it is growing in numbers, but more needs to be done.

That aside, how does voting third party or abstaining from voting affect change against the issues you've highlighted above? Because I don't disagree with the issues you've raised.

How exactly does "picketing, protesting, demonstrating, taking action, making noise" affect change against those issues, when the Democrats will just ignore you and get your vote anyway?
