Estimates are only 40% of eligible voters, or 19.6% of Americans, actually voted in 2014

1. I did my part...

2. In contrast, 52% of Ukrainians voted in their parlimentary elections last week....

...and a huge chunk of that country is a war zone right now.

4. In contrast 80+% of Denmark citizens voted in their last election because it's REQUIRED.

As it should be here. Denmark is one of the 'happiest' countries to live in.

3. That is absolutely pathetic

Seriously? Less than a quarter of our entire population came out to vote?

The stupid people are not the people who vote for republicans, the stupid people are the ones who just sit back and let a small percentage choose how this country will be shaped and run.

5. We will not see the turnout of 2008 and 2012 anymore

in 2016, believing we will is delusional and dangerous. That means a close down to the wire general election where there is no room for missteps or mistakes or a poorly chosen candidate.

6. Not with the gutting of VRA and CU, we certainly won't.

I expect we'll have a Republican supermajority for the remainder of my lifetime.

I just hope I'll get SOME damn Soc Security to help me retire one day.

7. Wow!
