How to make people indifferent about voting, 101...

First, tell them they are voting for the "lesser of two evils" and they must do this when voting





tell this to millions of people by using internet message boards, youtube chats, Twitter, FB and others.

Do it in the line at the grocery store, at family events, etc.




And tell them to repeat this to anyone who will listen, over and over, daily for months.

Outcome? Millions less people voting in the first place.

You see there are more of us than them, so the more people who dont vote the better chance the Nazi's have. Given most of them actually vote, you see.

First, vote against them out of spite or hatred.
Second, more subtly, criticize them to the point that people will believe the criticism.
Third, and possibly the worst of the three, just don't do your civic duty and stay home on Election Day.

Second, tell them the One True Path to Salvation, request they absolve themselves of any devilish nuance or unholy context, and if they disagree with the premise, call them apostates and describe the hell they've been consigned to.

Works every time.

esp. if they're a Democrat, can think for themselves, form their own opinions based on their own understanding of the news and the candidates or elected officials themselves.

Nope, they have to be fed a steady diet of pablum, propaganda and Goody Two Shoes shit. Else we can't rely on them to come out and vote.

I'm getting farkin' sick of these kinds of posts, Eliot. I hope you can get a grip on your outsize, neverending fears 'cause I can't take your fear-based lectures, whines and taunts much longer.
