Not Voting Is Fucking Stupid · 5:14pm Nov 8th, 2016
Yep, this one is pretty much for my American followers. I've already voted (Green down-ticket where I could, Democrat if no Greens ran, and Hillary for president), and I'm out of the age bracket I'm focusing on here.
But ever wondered what the 18-29 vote looks like? Here you go:
That age bracket is a large chunk of our fandom, and on the whole, we lean pretty far left.
But only 47% of young people vote. I've heard as low as 36% for this year.
Remember that before deciding your vote doesn't make a difference. If every young person got out and voted, the electoral map would look a lot more like that one than this one.
Just checked, and I am registered. while I understand the Importance and my reservations are complete idiocy. I still feel my choice will not matter. Still. Gonna go vote I guess.

I'm a liberal in West Virginia. Trust me, my blue/green vote is the tiniest drop in the ocean of Red, but it's still worth it in its own way.
Lean right but both Trump and Clinton suck, voted Johnson not because I want him as president but if gets 5% his party will get funding. This would give us another, more viable option in the future.
