Go Vote November 2nd

 

 

Roughly 40% of Americans are expected to vote in this mid-term election, many of them the dumbest and loudest.

 

I know mid-terms always go poorly for those in power, but that meme is a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Ads are run, stories are printed, polls are taken, all with the clear goal of disheartening those on the edges of the previous election-winner's coalition.

 

If you're an "independent" or a lazy liberal, or what have you, you need to get over it and go vote. You don't have amnesia, the years 2000-2009 were awful, and its been less than 2 years since Democratic policies have been in effect, trying to counteract all that badness.And they actually are working! Go back and look at some of my recent blog posts evincing this! For example, here.

 

Getting the people who put us in this mess back in power - either by voting for them or by being to depressed to vote for democrats - is stupid.

Not only that, but if the republican party does regain control of one or both halves of congress, you're going to get gridlock for two years. Demographic trends and history tell us that at that point Obama will be re-elected and Democrats will regain congress. So why throw away 2 years?

 

GO VOTE!
