My daughter posted this on Facebook after a discussion we had about young people not voting

[liberal N proud]

She was telling me about what she and many of her friends thought about the candidates her friends are all left leaning from what she said. We have raised our girls to make up their own mind and it was instilled in them that voting is not optional.

So in our conversation about young support of a candidate I pointed out that young people didn't vote in the last election.
So today she posted this with a message calling out her friends who didn't vote.

5. I vote so we can get past this discussion

And start doing something different. When 100% vote and the same things happen, there will be no more excuses.

9. Especially in local elections where a couple of votes do matter

that's where the state officials (who are responsible for drawing Congressional districts in most states) are elected: one year the winner in my district of 500,000+ people won by about 250 votes. Even if only half the residents were eligible to vote, that's .1% of the electorate (the Dem. candidate squeaked in, BTW). I'm paying an extra 0.25% sales tax in my county because the referendum to authorize it squeaked by 0.1% of the vote (California requires 66.67% approval: it got 66.78%).

The Far Right knows that every vote counts, and they're able to motivate their faithful. Why can't we?
