8. A Missing Vote IS VOTING.

There is no such thing as not voting. A missing vote has repercussions. It has an impact that registers an outcome. It helps someone win and someone lose. This will be one of the most important elections is US history. The next President will replace two to three, maybe four SCOTUS judges. We can't afford to allow the GOP to make any more gains and stack the court. It will result in the UNDOING of ALL advances made in social justice in this country in the LAST CENTURY. The GOP will dismantle ALL advances made in civil rights, employment, gender discrimination and environmental protections. One election can set this country back for decades to regain the damage the GOP will impose on this country. Getting the country back will be like trying to survive getting stuck in quicksand.
