It’s much easier to get 65% turnout when it’s a candidate we can get excited about.
His record is great, and the alternative is the end of democracy.
What more do you want
I dunno... someone that doesn't make up words like "goodest"?
Fantastigasmical?
The difference is that you made that word up on purpose…

Give me a fucking break. You have to point to some random website to even try to defend this and even that says that it’s not really a word but language is fluid?
You’re only proving the point more.
Here, have a refreshing beverage.
Change starts from the bottom, not the top.
Young people aren't voting = political parties seeing no reason to appeal to them.
Older generations vote, so politicians who appeal to older generations get promoted over ones who might otherwise have broad appeal.
Don't complain about there being nothing but geriatric candidates if you're only engaging in National level races and not taking part in local, regional and state elections that are spring boards for the younger politicians to rise up the ranks to get onto the national level.
You want to see change? Vote. In every election you're eligible to vote in. And get all your friends and co-workers to do the same. Doesn't matter if it's for city council, school board or senate races. Just fucking vote.
I’d agree but when the other candidate is Trump the excitement should be at max level for you, or I’ll have to think you have a secret agenda.
Its not secret. I want to dissolve the two party system and force the legacy political parties to compete in a free market of ideas. If they arent competitive because their muscles have weakened from long use of First Past The Post voting as a crutch... that's on them.
Ok either do that before this years election, or just shut up and do your duty
