If I understand correctly, they simply stay home. I was raised to value my vote, missing a national election was like missing a birthday or holiday so I don't understand staying home...even now as I find myself feeling a sense of anxiety over the possible candidates :)
I agree with you, staying at home is not an option.
Which these kinds of people do in every election. They don't vote, they probably have never voted, but they always like to claim they're going to stay home in order to "show" someone.
What is the numbers, something like 95% get reelected each cycle?
Until they can provide district by district numbers for all 435 districts in the house showing that their support would dislodge an existing candidate or prevent a GOP candidate from winning I don't have much faith in their blustering.
There were some percentage of the so called 'evangelicals' that vote democrat each time. I don't remember the number but it's somewhere in the mid teens I think. I'm not where I can put my hands on the exit polling data right now.
