(15,472 posts)Maybe it's to encourage people on this forum to go out and talk to their family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and social groups about the importance of voting.
Maybe it's to point out how differently things would be if we truly realized that we are in a war for the very soul of our nation and we need to act like it.
It is very much like telling people they shouldn't drink a 5TH of vodka and get behind the wheel of a car.
We are seriously at a point where there is an obvious choice. Our weapon in this war is either going to be a peaceful vote, or violence and blood, because that is where the other party is pushing us.
Women and girls are dying, because people did not vote, or did not take their vote seriously.
Elementary School children are being slaughtered, because people did not vote, or did not take their vote seriously.
People are not safe at school, at work, at the movies, at a restaurant, in a state capitol, at a parade, at a concert, at a pizza place, in a church, synagogue or mosque, at a Walmart, on a highway, at a dance studio...etc., to infinity, because people did not vote or take their vote seriously.
Law enforcement is murdering people in the streets, because people did not vote, or did not take their vote seriously.
Racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy are flourishing in this country, because people did not vote, or did not take their vote seriously.
Maybe it's to encourage people to vote while they still can, because the alternative is unthinkable.
