Between now and then end of the next presidential term it is not hard to imagine at least one Supreme Court vacancy that will be filled, possibly 2 or 3. If you have liberal / progressive beliefs, it will not matter who the Democrat nominee is, you vote for that person (even if you have to hold your nose to do so). If you have conservative / libertarian beliefs, you vote for the Republican nominee (even if you have to hold your nose to do so). Not voting is merely contributing a 1/2 vote to the world view that you oppose. Why would you do that?
