This woman is voting...make sure you do too.

Election Day 2014’s swiftly approaching, and things don’t look good for Democrats in the U.S. Senate. The Washington Post reports all three of the top polling and numbers gurus at WaPo, New York Times and FiveThirtyEight have gazed into their crystal balls and see a GOP takeover.

But… HOW? WHY? This can’t be possible! Can’t people see? The GOP is so WRONG! And MEAN! And STUPID!

Maybe it’s because the GOP is an awful lot like America, which is full of people who are wrong. And mean. And stupid. Take the woman shown below, for example.

However, the original poster took care to mention in a comment that this isn’t about the woman’s spelling, the point is that she reportedly votes in every single election, while many of us don’t.

It's inexpensive to vote, doesn't hurt too terribly much, and takes away the power from one of these idiots on the right who votes every single time.

While you are there try to vote for other ballot measures that may help your community.

The assholes on the right vote every time without even thinking about it. I wish we could do that for a few election cycles. Then we can talk about ideals and perfect world scenarios, but until then do not the the perfect be the enemy of the good.

who is utterly convinced that all politicians are the same and voting doesn't matter, that we're just "continuing our own oppression" by voting and equally stupid shit. Not sure where he got that from, 'cause it sure as hell wasn't from me or my family.
