Lazy voters: We have you to blame
Do you long for the days of “greatness”? Of generations past, of times of unity, of prosperity, safety, great national price, etc. A time of a truly great democracy?
It’s easy – vote!
Yet, again more than 40 percent of eligible voters did not vote. Yep, that is four out of 10 of Americans. And when the vote splits about 50/50, that means three out of 10 are determining the flavor of your American life. No wonder we got Trumped.
Talk to your family members, your neighbors, your co-workers – tell them why you voted and why it is important that they vote (there’s a 40 percent chance they didn’t).
