Why one of my people refused to vote:

8. Let me say, as a fellow educated millennial...

And no offense, but your millennial is a total fucking idiot.

You know why the Democrats lost last night? It's not because more people in your country are Republican. It's because more Republicans VOTED last night.

Now, a lot of this blame goes to the Democratic politicians themselves. It was absolutely sickening to see them not answer the question "Did you vote for Obama?", as if they ought to have been ashamed of it or something. They pandered to the racist assholes and they lost because those racist assholes still voted Republican.

But with a turnout rate of 50% or less, Democrats could easily win every single election if Democrats would just get the fuck off their asses and vote for Democrats. Even in states with a majority Republican population, only a minority of them bother to vote. If EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DEMOCRAT voted, Democrats would win, period.

Now, as to your idiot millennial saying how "they're both the same" - to a certain extent that's true. They are both bought and paid for by the corporations. Except that one of these two parties is bought and paid for and also BATSHIT FUCKING INSANE, while the other is simply bought and paid for.

By the way, I have no skin in this game. I'm Canadian. Let me just say this: Democrats may be scumbag conservatives, but they're NOT CRAZY. This is coming from an outsider looking in. We love Obama up here, but only because we know what the alternative will bring. He'd NEVER get elected here if he ran against our liberals. You may not get truly liberal policies out of Democrats, but you also won't get the psychopathic insanity that was George W. Bush.
