There are at last two elections every year.
Don't just vote once every four years. That's how we lose.

Vote in EVERY election, primary & general, EVERY year, even if you don't think there's anything "exciting" on the ballot. Pay attention to local races, local propositions, etc.

This is literally your JOB as a citizen of a democracy.

A healthy democracy requires all of us exercise our right to vote, in every election.... just like a healthy body requires regular exercise.

It's a small effort, and the rewards are large.
Don't whine & "Boo!"; VOTE!

I'm tired of whiners demanding perfection before they'll vote, or threatening to withhold their vote if some pet issue isn't addressed exactly "right".

You OWE your fellow citizens, the vulnerable, your vote to make THEIR lives better, not just yours. And to keep our democracy.

Anyone who demands their vote be 'earned' has no clue how things work, or why.

Because no.

Votes aren't earned, they are GIVEN. And you give your vote to the one of the two candidates that will do a better job, that will get us closer to the destination you want, not farther.

No candidate is perfect, because no human being is perfect. No candidate is going to agree with you 100% on every single issue. That's impossible.

And if you hate both candidates? Vote for the one that is of the party that would do better if it has a majority. MAJORITIES MATTER.

The party with the Majority controls what comes up for a vote, and what doesn't.

The party with the Majority controls who is on what committee.

Voting for a bad candidate that gives the better party the majority is a BETTER vote than no vote at all.

BECAUSE. MAJORITIES. MATTER.

In response to Spry Lorax.
How right you are. We just had our local elections. More taxes on marijuana. Now that it's legal they want to tax it to death - literally.
