"Does it really make a difference whether Democrats win or if the Republicans remain safe or not? I think not."
No need to read further. That statement is ahistorical idiocy.
There is a yawning chasm between Democrats and Republicans.

Not voting at all is not protesting it is saying that you don’t care and give me whatever. If you want a protest vote that will send a real message then write in a candidate from another party, or, write in N.O.T.A. for none of the above.
For most offices, I vote "NO"
