The Political Curse of Voting

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Vacate the Vote,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Political voting is the modern-day Curse of Sisyphus. At what point will you stop engaging in a repetitive and futile act?”

My Commentary: Enough!

Debating the 2016 Elections

The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by an acquaintance from here

Rayn:

“I hope my team wins so my point of view will be forced on the other half of the nation, or I’ll get angry.”

Johnson J.: What if one simply doesnt like liars?

Rayn: Then, there’s very little reason to vote.

Johnson J.: u know….. we already lost. Democrats wont do anything but the bare minimum.

Rayn: Both of these murderous control-freaks support the “war on terror” and the “war on drugs.” Their efforts to colonize and imprison the planet make them both enemies of humankind.

Johnson J.: well.. at least the dems arent running people over with cars and sending bombs to people’s houses…..

Rayn: As I already stated, Democrats ARE “sending bombs to people’s houses.” It’s called the “War on Terror.” Or, do you really believe that these foreign victims don’t qualify as “people”?

Rayn: And, even if you are like many leftists I’ve debated, and really refuse to acknowledge African and Middle-Eastern civilian targets of American imperialism as “people,” does this level of apathy extended to all of the victims of America’s bipartisan “War on Drugs”?

These institutionalized, force-tax-funded systems of legalized violence and murder far outweigh any of the combined damage done by private citizens, by leaps and bounds. But, even when examining the private sector, Republicans are not the only incompetents using violence as a political tool…

My Commentary: Presenting: your “representatives.”
LOLZ! Don’t forget to vote!

College Students Bested By Postal Stamp Needed for Absentee Ballots

I originally posted the following information and commentary onto my Facebook wall…

() Democrats are counting on Generation Z, many of whom recently gained the right to vote, to help turn Congress blue in the midterm elections.

But 49 cents may be all it takes to keep these post-Millennials from exercising their civic duty.

On Tuesday, a Fairfax County, Virginia official said they are noticing a disturbing trend: young people failing to mail in their absentee ballots because they don’t know how to get a stamp.
