The aptly named "Monster Vote"

Lost it at Ross Perot.

1. Is this for real?

Is that Michele Bachmann doing the VO? Is she actually blaming low voter turnout for the Obama presidency?

[TalkingDog]

2. I'm assuming it's for real.

But these days, who can tell?

5. Ya know, my day was going pretty good, until

I viewed the first 10 seconds of this crap.

Yeah, most of are sick and tired of the corrupt politicians. But come on, Trump? A reality star that knows how to get a rise out of the ignorant stupid people in this country? Come on now!!! And more than 1/2 of the crap that comes out of his mouth is not legal, or true.

Give me a friggin break here.

6. Well she is right about one thing

The monster vote is people who are fed up with the system...but fatally wrong about they want a Trump for president.
Although some of them could vote for him to stick it in the eye of TPTB who offer them more of the same. They would not be voting for but against.

7. I respect the fact that this women understands that the hard working people lost to NAFTA,

and all the trade deals that those in this photo passed-including TPP fast tracking. What I don't understand is how she equates a millionaire who never had to work for his first million, as someone who will work for those who will never make more than minimum wage.

8. And there's the disconnect that needs to be bridged.

Nicely summed.

9. Mr. Trump incorrectly believes lifting those out of substandard wages will break the country?

"Look at that again: $21 an hour. That's not a typo, or because she's a manager, or because she just got a substantial raise for figuring out how to put even less chicken in the McNuggets or something. She makes $21 an hour in Denmark because that's the normal wage for an employee over 18 years of age.

The standard wage for the same position in America, no matter the age? $8.81. Or, if you want to do the math of what an average employee makes for 40 hours a week of taking orders and grilling burgers, it's a little under $18,500 a year before taxes. (And that's if the worker actually has the chance to work 40 hours a week, unlikely seeing as fast food chains tend to keep their employees from hitting that threshold so they won't have to pay additional benefits.) So then, just how is it that workers in other countries earn more than two times as much as their American brethren?

They have a union.

(Before we go on: It should be noted that while McDonald's gets highlighted in the fast food strikes, that doesn't mean other chains are off the hook. While there are examples of certain fast food companies respecting their workers -- In-N-Out being the prime example of this -- for the most part, they all fail to provide a living wage to their employees. McDonald's gets the focus in this particular piece because (a) they're the industry leader, and as goes McDonald's so goes the rest of the industry; and (b) in this particular case, they're the only franchise with a true global presence, meaning there's a valid point of comparison between what their workers earn here versus what they earn abroad.)"

10. I totally agree! Bring on the voters!

The higher the voter turn out, the more Democrats win.

There is a solid concrete reason Republicans pass voting restriction and suppression laws as soon as they get into power.

100 million eligible voters sitting out their responsibility? I would love nothing more than for those folks to have their voices heard in a free and fair election.
