That's right reader. YOU are responsible for this nightmare. If only you ~~recycled your plastics more~~, ~~used a non plastic straw~~, shouted at your peers to vote, you could have prevented this hell hole. So hold yourself personally responsible and then push that anxiety and stress onto others without any nuance. Cause if you can prove your moral goodness maybe the world might be heaven without any work other than checking a box.
This is not really at all accurate math and it won't change the people happily voting the other way. Or the Electoral College. Or the ridiculous amount of bribes, corruption and party politics.
I hate this photo for so many reasons and I also think voting should be a mandatory holiday. I just refuse to pretend that this idea that it would fix everything because you yelled at enough people to ~~pray harder~~, vote more.
I will give people the benefit of the doubt and assume that voting simply isn't convenient or accessible to them.
Offer voting by phone, website, or app, and then see what the numbers look like.
I'm Canadian, and the last time I voted it was at a place that you basically needed to drive to. And take time off work to get to. Super inconvenient, despite my motivating to vote being high.
If it were an option by phone or website, I'm sure far more people would, because they don't have to disrupt their lives for something that takes 5 seconds to do.
