If Liberals Voted ...

[SecularMotion]

If liberals voted at the same rate as conservatives, Hillary Clinton would be president. Even with Donald Trump’s working-class appeal, Clinton could have swept Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

If liberals voted at the same rate as conservatives, Democrats would control the Senate. Clinton or Barack Obama could then have filled the recent Supreme Court vacancy, and that justice would hold the tiebreaking vote on campaign finance, labor unions and other issues.

If liberals voted at the same rate as conservatives, the country would be doing more to address the two defining issues of our time — climate change and stagnant middle-class living standards. Instead, Trump is making both worse.

On Tuesday, the northern suburbs of Atlanta will hold the country’s most significant election since Trump’s victory. It’s a special election in a conservative-leaning district once represented by Newt Gingrich and until recently by Tom Price, an architect of a health care plan that would take insurance from millions.

1. we have propbelm of motivation and ideology, which has given conservative free reign over the past

few decades as they dominate state and local el;elections too. The more we don't act cohesively, the more we deserve what we get.

2. I think liberals are some of the most inspired voters I know.

And they vote too.

Go figure.

3. Some sow discord a d discontent

They have a chip on their shoulders and get pissed when I simply say "vote Democratic."

We need to put that stuff, whatever it is, away.

4. I'm a liberal, and I vote. Can we maybe call the non-voters 'spoilers'?

You know, "Hillary Clinton didn't give me my rainbow-farting unicorn, so fuck her, I'm not going to vote at all, because Bernie Sanders blah-blah-blah, both sides are the same, blah-blah-blah, voting doesn't change anything, blah-blah-blah."

They threw the country to Tangerine Tinyhands and his deluded, morally bankrupt followers, and spoiled our national agenda because HRC didn't take them out for ice cream.

To hell with them all...
