1. Voting for President is not choosing favorite celebrity in the People's Choice Awards. It is not crowning a monarch who moves every part of government alone. Its not choosing who you want to have dinner with.
President is about policy. Full stop. Dems dont get it, GOP does...

2...your vote is not some gift you bestow upon a candidate, who must bow and cringe to all your demands to be worthy of your beneficence. The candidate is giving YOU something - a dedication to a career to bring you a policy option for self-government. If you say you....
3...don't "like" Biden or don't "like" Sanders or don't "like" Harris, unless you are saying "here are the policies they advance that I do not agree with," then you are an idiot and a narcissist. Republicans would - and have - line up behind a dead man if it meant they could....
4...push through tax cuts. Or impose their hatred of minorities. Or to "stick it to the libs." GOPrs vote out of greed and cruelty, others vote out of hatred of opponents, and others vote because of policy support. Primarily, they vote to win, because they know, without a....
5...republican president, there is zero chance of getting through full-blood, raw republican policies. Many democrats are "Oh, I don't like so and so because, and my vote doesnt matter because, and now let me preen on social media about how special I am." They don't think....
6....about mandates, they don't think *about how government actually works.* Idiot dems who didn't vote for Clinton last round because they wanted single payer - guess what? You threw away any chance of that for a generation. Because the president picks SCOTUS justices....
7...and because the "I'm too good to vote" people contributed to a congressional wipe-out in 2016, the GOP has the court. Majorities that would have been dems for a generation have instead gone to GOP. There are serious constitutional questions presented by single payer, and....
8...your infantile belief that a president waves a magic wand and it is all in place is why there will never be single payer. The privacy of contracts, the legality of non-fraudulent financial instruments, the government right to step in to otherwise lawful agreements - these....
9...are huge constitutional issues. You probably didn't even think of them -or even know what I mean- as you preen at the local coffee shop proclaiming how you are too good and too pure to vote for so-and-so. There is a reason democrats lose: Too many of their voters are losers..
10...by which I mean they do not CARE about other people, they do not care if others' lives are better, they care about their little ponies, and if they don't get them, they take their marbles and head home. Tell the millions without insurance now about how you didnt vote....
11...so they could have insurance. Tell the young folks who will be paying off the trillions to billionaires for the rest of their lives - and dealing with the financial collapse that follows - that you did it for income equality. Or perhaps read a book, get over yourself, and...
12...instead of making the election about you & your purity & how you don't want to vote for so and so to win the People's Choice Awards or have dinner with you, vote for the person who will put one branch of three in the hands of people whose policies you most support. Grow up.
...I find it ASTONISHING that dems replying to this single tweet do not understand what I am saying. They go "Oh, Trump is the celebrity." It is a metaphor about voting or not voting for a candidate because you "like" them or not, and treating presidency as inconsequential.
