Thank You Samantha Bee! I Love You!

Sam said it exactly right!

Protesters aren't voting!!

500,000 protesters in L.A. but only 11% voter turnout?!

What is happening?

There are elections every week this year, somewhere in the country.
If we can't teach Dems to flood the polls now, when can we?

Ideas... for how to influence voters in another state.

Ideas... for who to ask for ideas...

1. Seems about right

LA is around 4 million people and 500,000 is 9% of that.

2. Interseting

The news clip on Sam's show said between 500,000 and 750,000 protesters.
The voter turnout ended up being 11.45%

5. The Women's March in LA was 3/4 million, but we came in from all over....

I came from 100 miles away in a convoy of busses -- Santa Barbarans can't vote in Los Angeles.

Aside from that, Samantha has it wrong. Protestors are the ones who are politically engaged, ergo, protestors DO vote. 11% turnoutis indeed disgraceful, but don't blame the protestors.

6. Yes, but politicians only see the low turnout

and know that they have nothing to worry about.
