As far as I'm concerned anyone telling people not to vote, in this election or any other, is doing for malign purposes, and the only correct response is "Well now I am going to vote EVEN HARDER."

Maybe start, as a generality, classing pundits alongside people in the special hell prepared for those who talk in during movies...or get them on the phone and say "You wrote your 'opinion' piece which means you can lie your ass off in front of people. You lying here Chuck?"

The States Project is one of the best bang-for-your-buck options for your campaign donations. Even beyond it, though, state legislatures deserve your attention. Next time you're tempted to send money to whoever's going to lose to MTG, send it instead to a contested state leg seat.
