And a note to all the candidates who have deluged me with calls and texts over the past two weeks: all the money begs in the world don’t mean squat when people are just too fucking unmotivated or just plain lazy to get off their asses and vote until it becomes something that immediately affects them. Sadly, that appears to be a lot of the people in this country, and I fear nothing is going to wake them from their slumber until it’s too late for them to do anything about it.
I had hoped that the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade would be the catalyst that would ignite this passion, but sadly that still did not materialize the kind of blue wave that was needed to bring to a full stop the MAGA Republican fascist agenda.
I dunno…maybe it’s because I’m of a different generation, but I’ve voted in every presidential and midterm election since I was 18. With the advent of voting by mail in recent years, I’ve also voted in the lesser known local elections.
I cannot fathom why people do not vote. I just can’t—especially when it is so insanely easy and a full 30% of the population seems to be fine with that right being taken away.
Someone please explain it to me like I’m 5 years old.
