Heads up, vagina voters! The elections are nearing

And we have got a lot of work to do to get ready. I'm a bit concerned because truth be told I'm not as flexible as I used to be. I've got to start working out to get ready to be able to fill out all those bubbles on the ballot using my vagina. I've been doing my kegels, but I'm worried that won't be enough. Voting with one's vagina takes great flexibility. Here are some exercises we need to be doing to get ready for the primaries.









Right now you may be thinking, "gee, if I just keep voting for men like I have my whole life, I can use my hands to vote." I urge you not to give in to such defeatist thinking. While the obstacles are great, they are not insurmountable. We are women, after all, the keepers of all things vaginal. We shall raise ourselves up to the challenge!




As for me, I've only got until Super Tuesday to get in shape, so I've got to get cracking!

Yesterday featured Susan Sarandon saying she wasn't going to vote with her vagina.

And my OP mocking that idea is alerted on as being sexist.

Personally, I support vaginal suffrage (see also "enfranchising of the fallopians&quot
as equally as I do ball ballots and penile poll privileges.

The right of all gonads to vote deserves a standing ovary-ation.
May our democracy stand the testes of time!

Those look painful. Do I HAVE to vote with my vagina? If I vote with my fingers does it automatically go to Sanders or O'Malley? Please help!

As for person who alerted, someone has waaaay to much time on his or her hands. And suffering from Humor Deficit Disorder.

Alerters attempting to take care of our business in Hillary's Group that: BB has every right to give her flexible views on countering Sarandon's statement with intelligence and humor.

Thank your well timed piece on getting ourselves ready to vote Bains! I love Yoga but personally I'm voting with my heart and my brain.. and, of course, my hands.

Maybe if they spent less time in this Group trying to get a gotcha and more time working for their candidate, he just might break 20% in the National polls.

On the plus side though, it's great news for us!
