Look, if the last 8 years have shown us anything it's that even the lesser of two evils is important to have.
Vote.
This election is about some very important issues, among them how sick people are treated and healthy people kept well. You will get old and that will come with a whole host of problems.
I unabashedly support Obama in this for many reasons but the healthcare issue first and foremost.
Here's the rub. Ol' W won with the thinnest of margins in both of the last two elections. Don't sit this out. Your state is likely a foregone conclusion electorally. Yet, a massive popular mandate will show regardless. Even if your state is slated to go to the other guy, VOTE. A 60/40 split in the popular vote would resonate with all those chuckle heads on the take in congress and get them out of the way for some of the big picture items, like health care.
Vote.
It fucking matters.
Vote damn you! Vote.
