Hey, FUCK YOU, bigass! SMART people vote by mail because you can do some serious research on every question and candidate instead of just looking shit up on Wikipedia and believing every word like a goddam sap!
Another way to judge smart people is to ask them if they were so intellectually defective that they voted for Reagan, TWICE! Besides, anyone old enough to have voted for Reagan TWICE ain't exactly no spring chicken herself, you ignorant hillbilly bitch!
Well, bless your little pea picking heart, do you kiss your mama with the same mouth that you spew that garbage out of?
I don't vote by mail because, unlike you, I am 100% sure that my vote got counted when I cast it in person this morning. The machine came back with a message that it received my vote and it had been counted. I don't trust the mail to get my ballot to the elections office or the office to count it when it gets there. You might talk to a lot of African Americans up in Georgia when you say "smart people vote by mail." About 50K of their ballots have been rejected so far. And most of them don't even know it.
As for your anger at me voting for REagan Twice, I also voted for Nixon in '72, my first vote, for Carter in 76, for Reagan, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, Obama and then Clinton. There's a pattern there, if you notice. As SOME people age, they change. It's called learning- I learned that my original party, the one of Ike and Nixon (yes Nixon) was not a party I could be a member of anymore. Reagan and Bush the first taught me that the new Reaganite Republicans did not give a damn about anyone but the wealthy and loved the power of the military and our police forces far more than I thought a POTUS should. So I quit them.
I'm not a lifelong Democrat, so screw me. No, screw you, because it's me that will be working a phone bank on Sunday for Gillum, just like I did for Nixon, and Reagan, and Kerry, and Wes Clark, and John Edwards, and Hillary, and for all those candidates I've actually canvassed for and put in hours for while you sat on your lazy ass on this forum and called other people names.
Why don't you get off your ass and sacrifice a little of your time because cussing me out on this forum goes over like water off a duck's back. I know me and I know my feelings about the Democratic party. You should either put up or shut up. I'm 69, FYI, and I'll be phone banking on Sunday for Gillum because my left knee won't hold up to canvassing any more. I've fulfilled my job as an American citizen since I was 18 and mailed out letters from the Nixon Headquarters on Garden Street.I wasn't old enough to vote then. Nixon changed that. He did a lot of good things, BTW. I'm not ashamed of voting for him at all. The only people who need to be ashamed are all those Americans who sit around and bitch on political forums and in the newspapers and who don't get off their asses and participate in our democracy. As Rachel Maddow, the evil one, says, DEMOCRACY IS NOT a SPECTATOR SPORT.
