Elections matter, folks…

Well…I still seeing the bullshit all over the internet on the sites that I visit that “both parties are the same”, or “my vote doesn’t matter”….and I wonder if people haven’t looked at the miracle of Michigan where voters put in place the non-partisan election district committee who drew much fairer districts here…and those districts gave the dems total control of the Michigan government for the first time since the 1980′s…and you know what they didn’t do with that control? Tax cuts for the rich and corporations…how about two meals a day for every schoolchild? How about the passing of the initiative that enshrined women’s rights in the state constitution…and protections for the LGBTQ community? That wouldn’t have happened without the dems dragging their butts out  off the comfy couch or filling in their ballots and mailing them in….both now protected because we dems turned out and voted to make it easier to participate in our government while every red state voted to make it hard for minorities and college students to vote….so don’t give that crap…voters turning out gave control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court to the liberals in the state where it will now serve as a check on the repub controlled legislature…so don’t make excuses…vote!
