One of the bright spots in America is that, despite the massive propaganda to get Americans to vote, 60% chose not to on this past election day.
That's despite the endless commercials, the robocalling, the door-knocking, the political spam that littered all our neighborhood lawns, the celebrity endorsements. What a waste. The vast majority of us still gave them a collective middle-finger.
Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders is bothered by this. Something else has to be done. His idea? Make election day a national holiday! Democracy Day! There's even a bill to create it.
In other words, the Senator wants everyone to stop serving their neighbor (by working), and instead beat their neighbor over the head with government (by voting).
Narcissists don't like being ignored.

Already have a holiday, it's called the 4th of July. Now, if the Lefties would move tax day to the first Tuesday of November, instead of April 15, I might be persuaded.
ReplyDeleteBesides, this country is a republic. The Left now uses the word "Democracy" as a substitute for "Freedom." They are not equivalent by a long shot. Whenever you hear the Left say "Democracy", it's safe to assume that they're up to no good.
Another lame idea by another government half wit. The reason we don't vote is that anyone who doesn't ride on the little bus, realizes it makes no difference. It's all smoke and mirrors - full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing Government could do is GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!
you know that would actually be worse for voting i suspect as i think most people vote because its something out of the ordinary on an otherwise routine day. Make it a holiday were people can do anything they like and it might decline even more
ReplyDeleteNext stop: mandatory voting!
