We can blame you because voting is part of your duty living in a democracy.

You might care if someone close to you, who was a closeted gay, is ripped out of their home one night and never heard from again? Maybe a family member, with a black spouse, is lynched for daring to marry a white woman? Or, even closer to home, perhaps a tweet or post you made from 2010 suddenly becomes against a decency law and you’re questioned, tortured, and jailed for it?

At what point, exactly, would it behoove you to care? When it’s your neck on the line only?

George Carlin would have been smart enough to realize the dangers we were facing. I’m not a huge fan of Biden or the DNC but my vote will be a vote against Trump.

Lol, George “They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it” Carlin?

He’d be telling people to quit putting their faith in politicians, not yelling at them to shut up and vote.
