Vote or you won't be able to whine after November |
|
Biden forgot the carrot. Whiners want to whine, and they won't have any standing to do that if they fail to vote. Non-voters need to ask themselves if they can emotionally stand to spend the next two years after the election shutting the f up. If they don't vote, they have zero right to complain about what happens.
Anyone complaining about what happens after the election is going to be asked a simple question: Did you vote? If they answer "No," their opinion is meaningless.

I have been complaining about Democratic politicians for over 40 years, voting for them all the while.

6. Agreed and the MSM is on the side of the republican teaparty.. |

Ten years ago Palin and O'Donnell would have been laughed off the stage. Look where we are now. There is no time to sick back and think you're accomplishing something by not voting. The teabaggers have told you point blank what they're going to do when they get into office. How can anyone on this forum be okay with that?

I suspect many never vote anyway. I live in Texas and voting Democratic, especially in my county, is mostly hopeless, but I do it anyway because there's simply no better way to be heard. Even if an election is lost, a candidate will ignore the opposition votes to their peril and the more there are the dumber they are for ignoring them.
