Just cast my ballot for the midterms, and got struck with the thought that voting is akin to pissing in the ocean and expecting the sea levels to rise.

But, promised an Elder I would, so I did.  {Matthew 22:21}

Methinks it used to be really, really important, which is why white people insisted black people did/could not, but now since they can, it no longer is, and no one cares, because it doesn’t actually matter. 

Fannie Lou Hamer (look her up, she’s important) had to pass a literacy test before Mississippi allowed her register to vote which she couldn’t effectively do because she lacked proof of poll taxes via receipts.

White people (sigh).

Oh and a white doctor also assaulted her medically with a forced hysterectomy, no knowledge, no consent.  Hard to argue when you’re unconscious.

Anyhoo, Rethuglicans in several states (looking at you, next US prez DeSantis/Trump-lite[worse?]) have passed laws to restrict access to voting under the guise of preventing election fraud, but say nothing about dark money influence in politics. Funny how so many of those restrictions/limitations will reduce democratic votes. Jus’ ah co-inky-dink, me’shure.

Government of the dollar, by the dollar, for the dollar, shall cause the nation to perish. 
Lincoln is doing 360s … dusty, rattlely 360s but 360s no less.

So why vote? 

Why not?  It’s free, “they” already have your address, and you get some sick flair if you do it in person. 

So go vote.  Your (other person Your) person/policy might win.  And won’t that feel good. 

Or at least smug.
