Election Day 2014s swiftly approaching, and things dont 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 cant be possible! Cant people see? The GOP is so WRONG! And MEAN! And STUPID!
Maybe its 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.

(39,343 posts)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.

(20,818 posts)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.
