Occupy The Vote!!! What does this mean to you? [View all]

No, this is not a poll.

It is just an honest question.

I care about your answer very much,
because I've been here at DU for nearly a decade,
waiting for it.

Waiting for this moment,
for this particularly unique niche in Time,
where everything really is possible.

And so here we are.

So tell me true, if you dare.

What does "OCCUPY THE VOTE" mean, or look like, to you?
