Yeah nah go vote in person. Who cares what they want. Get up and go do it, and go do better than 60% for once in your elections.

You know you did it for sure then.

You wanna talk about turning up in numbers? Turn up to vote. If you’d done that from the outset for primaries and general elections, every election that requires voting including local boards, you wouldn’t be here.

    This is a guaranteed failure strategy. The number of people that will go and vote in person due to losing the postmark <<<<<< the number of democratic votes lost due to losing reliable postmarking.

    Doing the right thing is about understanding statistics and fighting the right fights. It's a huge loss to further weaken mail in votes. A turn your nose up, screw you guys I'll just go vote in person doesn't move the needle. Republicans understand that systemic nudges are far more powerful than pitches for passionate action.

    the number of…

    If so, and I’ll take your word for it here, that just reflects how lazy the population is.

    Are you seriously trying to tell me mail in voting is a more reliable way of turning out to vote than in person? Well, maybe I guess, if you factor in the case the US uses voting machines owned py private individuals.

    The United States deserves this president, for their greed, apathy and laziness in neglecting to vote. Get off your fuckin arses, if you can, and get to the polling booth.

    Twenty years you’ve been warned and you still can’t listen. You truly deserve this government.

    If that’s truly the case, they really have problems and it’s no surprise that they have the president and government they do.

    What is this based on? That more people in that country vote by mail than in person? Those lazy motherfuckers.

    What a fuckin shit show. They deserve the president and government they have. For this, their apathy and their privately owned voting machines.

    He’ll be president next term too, if he lives that long. Those clowns can’t stop him. They can’t even get up to vote.

    I'm not trying to tell you that. There is clear data that shows this.

    Also get off your arse and vote is as effective as telling meth addicts to stop doing meth or telling teens to practice abstinence to avoid teen pregnancy. The results of this method are also already known.

    Shows what? That you’re all too lazy to get up and vote?

    Like I said, you deserve this president. Get off your arses and do something.

    60% turnout, ay? I don’t think it matters, you’re all too lazy and apathetic to do it.
