Yeah, so screw the doom and gloom. I voted today.

Early voting for the Democratic primaries in a red district here in Indiana. Was only the second person there the whole day.

Point is, if I, a stereotypically apathetic mid-20s voter, feel inspired enough to get out and vote in a primary where the odds are most definitely stacked against us, so should all of us.

Fuck the doom and gloom.

Now, start working on all your mid-twenties friends to do the same in November.

(PS: I live next door to you in Illinois, and we had primaries in March. Turnout was very low, too: just 16%.)
