I find it very absurd that Democrats continue to pedal the idea that staying home and not voting, is voting for republicans. The problem is that the Democratic Party has failed to energize and motivate its base to care about its goals. Because they have no clear objectives, nor has it given people a reason other than the afore mention one to get to the polls, that failure fall squarely on local party leaders and their inability to lead or champion issues that people care about.
I really attribute much of it to laziness. Here is what these "old mindset leaders" need to understand.

1. Most people that identify themselves as democrats do so because they believe in the idea of equal access and rights and being ethical matters to them.
2. Gone are the days of uneducated or undereducated voter going to the polls and voting as they are told
to because they share a membership in the party. People really do know the issues or what important to them, and once in the booth no matter what most people will vote their beliefs, so the party need to find itself, learn from members what matters most and not the other way around.
3. Most people actually stay home because they are in fact disillusioned with the things the party fails to address or make relevant to them. Livable wages, more access to childcare and health services better educational opportunities and holding big business in check.
It's easy for party leadership to blame everything else but themselves but the main reason you're chosen or selected to lead is that you can figure out how to make things work, so stop blaming everything else and do the one thing you've haven't done yet …lead.
