So how many first time voters will throw up their hands and give up

[Binkie The Clown]

and start thinking their vote doesn't matter anyway, so why bother?

It's just so discouraging.

I think that when the next election rolls around I'll will do my own prediction polls by throwing rune stones or turning over Tarot cards.

1. Because it does matter. Even if you don't win.

Every vote counts. Especially in close races.

2. The sky is falling, right? But at least Joe Biden is President. So, we got that going for us.

7. He is?

Wasn’t aware it had been declared.

8. Here's a shiny new car.

You can put it in your garage, admire it and marvel at how lucky you are to have it but you can't drive it.

Enjoy!

9. Enjoy the next 8 years.

3. I'm sticking with my Dreams for prediction.

4. Oh fuck that shit! This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. A life long marathon.

You vote the first time you can & you continue to vote until you can't. You just do it, no matter how discouraging times are or if you don't think you'll win.

VOTE. JUST VOTE!!

5. Until we can safely protect our elections

We will need to come out in huge numbers to overcome votes lost to fraud, voter suppression, and other dirty tricks.

[Codeine]

6. Only idiots.

My first election saw all my choices lose. Didn’t keep me from voting in the very next election.
