I really have tried to reconcile myself with the lackluster “participation” rate among voters of the Democratic persuasion over the last 25-30 years but it’s time to call a spade a spade. Trite is not even the word to employ here. Let’s try “vapid”!
.
To those American Democrats who haven’t vote more than twice in the last 20-30 years, you’re absolutely skank meat. Funny, you have so much time and energy for reality t.v. shows, waiting in line at the Safeway “slow-line”, that morning/evening commute and yet when it comes time to vote (and I mean, every TWO years, not just every FOUR) you somehow can’t get your own jock on straight and stumble, mumble, crumble to a voting precinct or mail in that damn ballot.
.
Well, I’ve got news for you “fallen” Dems, you’re a cancer on the party and on the nation. Perhaps the party, while not altering their overall political philosophy, should begin acting more like the asshole GOPers and figure out ways to really f*ck things up, legislatively and actively work to bring to a halt ANYTHING that smacks of a GOP initiative and just take for granted that any legislation with a Democratic bent to it will be as rare as a blue moon.
.
WTF! The very day of Obama’s inauguration on January 20, 2009 Mitch McConnell and John Boehner were meeting together with other GOPers wherein McConnell simply and directly intoned that the GOP’s prime directive was to stymie any and all legislation coming from the Obama White House. Horse Shit!
.
You still have those two ass-hats in Congress (Speaker Boehner, Senate Leader McConnell). Thank you very much “vapid” American electorate. In large part, you “no-shows” are directly responsible for creating the electoral vacuüm that ushered in the landslide GOP Congressional beat-down in November/2014 with the end result that they control Congress – lock, stock & barrel.

They say a friend doesn’t allow a friend to drive drunk. Well, add to that a corollary: A friend doesn’t allow a friend to become/remain stupid and lazy. Not voting is nothing less than an act of sheer stupidity. It’s a slow motion form of political suicide. It’s a form of Russian roulette where you are gambling on the odds that your own “particular” situation will remain insulated from whatever bad things happen when GOPers are elected.
.
LOL! Voting is the core of citizenship and not some “add-on” deal. If you insist on having “others” speak for you then sooner or later they will dictate to you. It’s time that more of us actually have the balls to question people who don’t vote and then give them some “dutch uncle” reciprocity.
.
Ultimately, not voting is the very essence of “vapidness” (uninteresting, uninspiring, dull, flat, nothingness). There’s only so much “latitude” that can be given to folks who DON’T vote. After a point it needs to be pointed out — BLUNTLY — that those sorts of folks are LOSERS! The Democratic Party needs to shed the kumbaya approach toward politics and become more warrior-like both with their own flock and the GOP adversary they confront.
.
Teddy Roosevelt once said: “speak softly and carry a big stick”. The GOP is nothing if not overtly implicit in their rhetoric with regards to their adversarial foes (both within and outside their party). So too, the Democrats need to take up that tact and go tooth & tong after apathetic, nonvoting forces. It seems that if you turn it into a cultural thing (like the GOP does on everything) then you get real traction. Therefore, let’s make nonvoting a real cultural litmus test and not treat it like some “in-the-shadows”, unspoken/taboo topic of conversation. No more FREE PASSES on nonvoting/nonvoters!!!
