You can’t even have a
conversation with me about politics, the government, or much anything else if
you don’t vote. Seriously. I’m very
civic-minded and dogmatic about citizens seeing voting not only as a right that
others died for, but as a duty.
If
you approach me complaining about Republicans or Congress or even President
Obama (Warning: You liable to be cursed out if you think you
can disparage Barack Obama in my presence. For real.), the first
thing that I ask is “Did you vote?” If you say yes,
we can talk. If you say no, then your complaint is
invalidated and I turn a deaf ear to anything you have to say. If you don’t
vote, then don’t complain because you are a part of the problem.
While canvassing in 2010, I had a black guy to
tell me that he “don’t vote for no white dude.” I was stunned
speechless. What the hell . . . .{Continued reading at . . . }
