We have heard a lot of people complain about candidate choices and are thinking about not voting in this election cycle. But what if you lived in a country where you had no candidate choices, or where there were no elections, or where government officials were installed and remained in power with the assistance of the military, or where political opponents, journalists and people at rallies critiquing the government were rounded up and jailed.
We believe this election is far too important to sit it out.
If you are pro-democracy, pro-choice and pro-prosperity, we urge you to vote for Democratic candidates in this election cycle.
