wherever they are found. 86% of voters were not in the youth group.

... the folks who think we need to "reach out" or "listen to the concerns of" Trump-supporting assholes.

FUCK.

THAT.

Rather than extend an olive branch to mind-numbed, brain-damaged sheep that hate us, I choose instead to focus on the youth vote; kids who couldn't vote in 2016 who will be able to do so in 2018 and 2020.

They don't seem too impressed with the racist, homophobic, destructive, selfish and ignorant hordes that vote GOP.

Smart kids!

I have a cousin who turns 18 in February. She's told me several times how jealous of me she is because I went to a Women's March.

I usually get her makeup as a birthday present (she's a makeup addict currently in cosmetology school) but this year her birthday present will be a voter registration form. I need to get that kid registered and voting.

ETA she lives in a swing county, swing district, swing state.
