You Need To Go Register.
Oct. 3rd, 2008 05:19 pmIt's that time again, friends and famines.
Not voting guarantees that you don't have a non-violent say in how this whole thing operates. Voting can sway things a little. The more of you who vote, the more it sways. Remember that nothing is as fast as we want it to be, especially not beneficial change.
Anyway. Don't be a lazy asshole. Don't be a fucking whiner. Get out, right now, register, and vote.
Do you want this person in one of the highest-profile and most concentrated seats of power in the country? How about this person?
This one?
This one?
This one?
This one?
This one?
Then, no matter your answer, you need to fucking vote, and you need to do your level best to make sure everyone you know does, too.
Warren Ellis once compared voting to being in a locked room with people who want to fuck you with knives, but that's not quite true. Some of those people may only Not Care whether you get fucked with knives. If you make them a better offer, then they'll probably go your way.
That's voting.
Fucking Do it.
