MODERATORS
In our democracy, we have a first-past-the-post system. This means only two parties, Democrats and Republicans, have any chance at winning.

The electoral college favors Republicans. Specifically it favors low population areas, which tend to vote Republican. High population centers tend to vote Democrat. Democrats need more votes to overcome this advantage.

A majority of people agree with Democrats on issues. If everyone voted, Democrats would win in a landslide.

Not voting and third party votes detracts from votes that could have gone to Democrats.
