(23,090 posts)I see and hear a lot of young folks digging on people, but, they clam up if you asked them if they voted.
Back in the day, teachers would have voting machines brought into school. We could go in, pull the big curtain lever, and flick a few switches. Then the big pay off came when you pulled the big lever and the curtain flew open and you actually HEARD your votes being added to the rest w a big kachunk as the machine reset itself for the next one.
I know bc I have em, kids are vocal, but, unfortunately lazy as hell on voting day. College and healthcare and jobs, can be yours, if you get off the couch, put your phone down for a half hour, and go vote. Then crickets.....chirp.....chirp....r'itchet....chrp.
Waiting for voting day to find out how to/where to vote, usually equates to, "I'll take a chance somebody else is looking out for me", and therein lies, another apathetic voter who didnt vote, and will spend the next election cycle bitching about what did or didnt happen.
cellphones are sominex. Put them down. Better yet, don't get your kid one.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
