Decided You Won't Vote? Here's Who Will Thank You (UPDATED)

Memo to any self- proclaimed "liberal" or "progressive" or "Democrat" or just any sentient human being who claims they won't be voting in November if (pick one) Hillary/ Bernie is the nominee, here's who'll be voting instead of you:

David Duke, a white nationalist and former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, is urging the listeners of his radio program to volunteer and vote for Donald Trump.

“Voting for these people, voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage,” Duke said on the David Duke Radio Program Wednesday, referring to Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. “I’m not saying I endorse everything about Trump, in fact I haven’t formally endorsed him. But I do support his candidacy, and I support voting for him as a strategic action. I hope he does everything we hope he will do.”

Duke then urged his followers to call Trump’s campaign headquarters to volunteer.

“And I am telling you that it is your job now to get active. Get off your duff. Get off your rear end that’s getting fatter and fatter for many of you everyday on your chairs. When this show’s over, go out, call the Republican Party, but call Donald Trump’s headquarters, volunteer. They’re screaming for volunteers. Go in there, you’re gonna meet people who are going to have the same kind of mindset that you have.”

While the Boys in the Hoods and their like are out casting ballots this fall, anyone to the left of Willard Romney who decides to sit this one out in a fit of misguided pique or blinkered sense of ideological purity is a childish, privileged ass.  You'll be committing an act of unforgivable indecency, abandoning your birthright as a citizen and thereby empowering the David Dukes, the Sarah Palins, the Jerry Falwell, Jrs., the Phyllis Schlaflys, the Ted Nugents and all those knuckle- dragging thugs Stormtrumpers who beat up protesters at Trump rallies to determine the future course of America.

This isn't going to be a Tweedledee/ Tweedledum election.  It's going to be the most clearly defined, significant election in modern American history.  The outcome's going to affect millions of Americans and people around the world who aren't as privileged as you, who would suffer the consequences of a Rump presidency.  Declining to participate when the stakes are so high is an act of intellectual bankruptcy and moral cowardice.

And David Duke will thank you.

UPDATED:  Of course, Rump won't disavow DuKKKe's endorsement.
