So who did you vote for?....No more sympathy
The next time someone complains they can't afford the prescription drugs...I'm asking who they voted for.

The next time they complain about the air pollution and increased asthma...I'm asking who they voted for.

The next time they complain they couldn't get birth control, or have a legal, safe abortion....I'm asking who they voted for.

The next time they complain how all the fat cats at their work make all the money or that their health care coverage keeps getting more expensive....I'm asking who they voted for.

When they complain they can't make ends meet on their minimum wage job...I'm asking if they voted and who for.

The next time they complain they can't or their son or daughter can't afford a house because of high interest rates...I'm asking who you voted for.

The next time someone complains about local taxes going up or local education funding cuts...I'm asking who they voted for.

And if the idiots ever realize that abortion rates went up under this maladministration....I'm saying I told you so.

I'm not just going to nod my head in sympathy or empathy. No more surrender.

1. Yep.
Bushbot in our neighborhood was all worked up a couple of weeks ago because the school board was going to have to close an elementary school, and one of the possible targets was ours. Oh, the agony, "no, they can't close OUR school"

At that time, it was all I could do not to tell her "It's your vote for Republicans that caused this, you dipshit."

Well, like you, I'm no longer going to hold that back. Fuck 'em.

4. Oh, yeah.
Already made this decision. I don't care if it's family, if I lose some friends, just don't care. They've got to realize that they do get what they vote for.
