I'm concerned about the trending

10. Bull fucking shit

Show me solid scientific data that only bright, cheerful, hopeful people get out and vote. It goes both ways.

Some people don't vote when things are looking good because they don't think their vote isn't needed, others don't vote when they don't think the effort will pay off.

I've never heard one solid bit of evidence or data one way or another that those effects don't simply cancel out. Until someone can prove it, I'm fucking sick and tired of hearing, year after year, one group moaning about depressed voters and another group moaning about complacent voters.
