Election Manual for the Voter Apathy Party (2018 edition)

Yes I dusted the cobwebs and fumigated the rats, so it's safe to come back to this long dormant blog now. And just in time for another entry in the Vote, Dammit! series. While voter turn-out has already been high this year than it's been in the past, there are still those trapped in the supercilious grip of the Voter Apathy party. One sledgehammer to use against this brick wall is to change the mentality of the way some folks approach voting and clear up any misconceptions people have about the concept.

1. You are not the Godfather and your vote is not a "favor" to grant to whoever kisses your ring the most.
2. You vote is not a commodity chip. Voting is supposed to be important to you. If you consider your own vote worthless, don't expect anyone running to artificially inflate it's value for you (yet another case of people failing to distinguish civil service from customer service) And on a related note....
3. The people who are most affected by election results are always your fellow citizens and NOT the candidates running. The populace at large are the ones that deal with the consequences of an election (unless you think "not being bound by the burdens of political office" is an example of "suffering", a mindset reminiscent of Kavanaugh's Life Being Ruined™ by not automatically ascending to a position on the highest court). So using elections as a way to "punish" or "get back" is a sucker's game.
4. Voting is a responsibility to your fellow citizens (see point #3 for why) and a duty (the fact that it isn't enforced doesn't make it less so.)

The "I Loathe Trump" club will now come to order.

Greetings fellow libtards. Before we get on will our weekly task of being both deep-state and "elitists", let me take the floor to dispense this piece of advice.

I always find it weird when som3 some poo-throwing Trumpanzee tries to troll you with "You just hate Trump." The proper response for this is "Yeah? So what? It's with cause." It's not irrational or arbitrary. There should not be any shame in taking that position. Indeed it's the proper stance for all Decent-Americans.

This is the big difference between the people who hate Trump and those who hated Obama

You see we are just practicing what the great Martin Luther King taught preached in which he envisioned a dream where people were judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Far too many Trump supporters (and their enablers) would like that to work the other way around.

Fun with Font: #metoo edition

Even with all that's been written about #metoo and the various sex abuses and misconduct the movement is attempting to catalogue and expose, there are people who still have a problem properly understanding the issue. There have been debates on whether this was an issue of "content" or "tone." But I propose that this may simply be something in need of a typography correction. So let us restate the basic premise now:

The problem with sexual assault and sexual harassment is sexual ASSAULT  and sexual HARASSMENT .

Do we get it now? Don't make me break out the 72 pt font and comic sans, people!
