Y'know What Really Gripes My Ass?

This is what really gripes my ass:
A nationwide USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll of people who are eligible to vote but aren’t likely to do so finds that these stay-at-home Americans back Obama’s re-election over Republican Mitt Romney by more than 2-1.
Two-thirds of them say they are registered to vote.
Eight in 10 say the government plays an important role in their lives. Even so, they cite a range of reasons for declaring they won’t vote or saying the odds are no better than 50-50 that they will:
  • They’re too busy.
  • They aren’t excited about either candidate.
  • Their vote doesn’t count.
The first 2 excuses are just the typical high-school-fuck-around bullshit that way too many people seem never to outgrow, but that last one is an absolute triumph of self-defeating circularity.

Here's the thing, kids - the only way your vote doesn't count is if you don't vote.

How fuckin' stupid do you get?
