Why you should leave your vote for President (and most likely, Senator) blank next year

No matter what the Republican alternative is, the Democrats MUST be held accountable for this.

"Virtually all Democrats and Republicans voted to strip citizens of their rights in a vote of 93-7."

Here is the roll call.

The following people voted Nay:
    Sanders, VT
    Lee, UT
    Wyden, OR
    Merkley, OR
    Coburn, OK
    Paul, KY
    Harkin, IA

Both WA senators voted for it. None of them will get my vote next election season, no matter what the alternative is.
