So you're feeling down so you don't vote? What the hell is it with THAT?

I keep reading about how too many Dems/Progressives don't vote in non-Presidential years because they feel "down" about things, etc. so stay home and don't vote. That is truly crazy. So instead of taking some action and DOING something about it by voting for someone who will be much more apt to help with your issues, you just stay home??? How is not voting helping you get out of your funk?


This is an inexcusable thing. If you know someone who is staying home because they are "down" or "angry" or whatever, tell them it's all the MORE reason to VOTE !!

If Dems/Progressives would just VOTE, all these races would not be so close, and we'll have a fine night on Tuesday. So please folks, GET OUT AND VOTE and take that apathetic "gloomy" or "angry" friend with you. Spread the word. VOTE! (Or, DO NOT COMPLAIN !!)

If anything, these non-presidential elections are MORE important.
