Liberals quite clearly want the Democrats to win the election, because they know if they win they get more of what they want.
While a protest vote, stay at home, etc might give a very temporary bite of protest satisfaction, the reality is that you will then have less of what you want, and you will get a more liberal candidate in future elections.
More Obama means more Kagan and Sotomayors on the SC. More Obama means more Solyndras and less Keystone pipeline. More Obama means Eric Holder can continue to safely race bait with his AG title. More Obama means Cap and Trade, Buffett Rule, and in general more taxes, less civil liberties, less fossil fuel and less employment.
Not voting for Romney is like saying you won’t buy the car because it is green instead of blue, and instead you’ll get Obama who will give you a walking stick instead of a car.
Not voting for Romney is like saying I won’t buy a car that doesn’t run instead of a car that doesn’t run.
I’m not buying any piece of crap car.
