As someone who is politically active in ways other than voting, I'm calling bullshit. You're just making assumptions about how other people act, you have no evidence.

A better solution would be for the US to implement some kind to voting system where third party voting does matter. Like lots of the world has.
It's possible to vote Dem and still do all the other things you listed.
The US needs to fix their voting system. Preferential voting, run-off, whatever. First past the post sucks.

Yep. The thing I worry about is, even if the dems pull of a win that gives them the power to do this, would they actually do it? I doubt it, somehow.
