How YOU can change this election. By Geniusofdespair

If there ever was a time for mother-father guilt to be applied, it is now!


There is only one way YOU can impact this election. Stop posting on Facebook and look around at your OWN family. 

Who in your family has not voted? Yes the one you nursed, put through college,  comforted, taught to ride a bike, bought countless presents for and had at least 18 birthday parties for. Have they voted? Now is the time to cash in on all that nurturing.

Stop with your friends you cannot change their minds. Get your kid to vote. Guilt them, pull them gingerly by the hair, take back the car, make them clean their room,  make a deal of some sort, but get them to vote. Today! DRIVE THEM TO A POLLING PLACE.

Do they live far from you? Are they at school? Threaten to cut them off from something if they don't send a selfie of themselves voting.

I was in the mall and I started talking to an early twenty something female who was on her lunch break. I asked if she had voted. She said no. I questioned her further and found out she liked Hillary. I said "You know you can vote right here on the other side of the mall." She said: "No I don't live here." I said: "You can vote anywhere during early voting."

I thought to myself: Where is her Fucking parents and her aunts and uncles? Why are they not talking to her. Why am I having this conversation with this sweet but dumb girl? Her parents are probably on Facebook "gold mining in the Hudson River" for votes when they have a piece of gold in their family that they actually have some power over.

So glad to hear you are going up to perfect strangers and asking if they voted. I've been doing the same for two weeks and handing out the early voting site list. A lot of people don't know! We need to all do the same! Get the early vote list brochures at any Hillary Clinton office. Do it everywhere you go for the next 3 days. Hoping my sense of urgency about this election is contagious.

The 3 prong attack of Russian hacking with WikiLeaks daily dump, the Comey letter of the renewed email investigation, and now leaks from the FBI about the Clinton Foundation are unprecedented. This election is attempting to be hijacked by foreign governments and our own FBI. The only way to fight this is to vote.

LOVE this. You can bet my young adults did their civic duty already.

You can take the time to explain it, or you can just tell them. They are too young to be unselfish and know what is good for the country is not always good for them. Be forceful.

Let them know how important it is to you and why.

Fantastic! This is something I can do but not easily. My son supported Bernie Saunders because of tuition. Maybe I can convince him to vote for me. He is too stubborn to know it is for him. A president that does believe in global warming doesn't care about my son's future or that of his descendants. Thank you. I have been feeling helpless.

I called my niece. It worked...pressure and promises. I am picking her up to vote in Aventura and then we will be shopping for a bribe.

As of Nov. 3rd, here is where we are. There were 339,908 early votes, and 265,854 mail-in votes (65% return rate). So the combined total number of people who have voted so far is 605,162. There are 1,332,123 people who are registered to vote and can vote in this election. That means 45.4% of the registered votes have already voted. If we assume a 75% turnout rate of registered votes, we would be expecting 997,592 voters to vote. If this is so, 61% of the people we expect to vote in this election, have already voted.

West Dade Regional Library is number 1 in generating early votes with 21,432 votes so far. Second place is John F. Kennedy in Hialeah with 19,248, and third place is Coral Gables Branch Library with 19,133 early votes.

We still have the rest of today, two more days of early voting, and Election Day. But time is rapidly running out!!! GO VOTE!!!!!

Black vote is down. Bad for Clinton.

I just spoke to two young girls in an elevator that voted for Trump. They were giddy with their choice. Don't let your children vote for Trump without explaining the consequences of their choice.

I don't think people understand the magnitude of what is going on. We about to elect a WOMAN for the first time in the history of planet earth, as the most powerful human being on the planet, and THE leader of the free world. Centuries from now people will talk and write about her and about us. We did it on our watch. She will always get attention because she was the first. She opens the door for the others to come. Hopefully after her, there will be a long line of exceptional women sprinkled throughout the coming decades, of women who will lead the free world. There will always be tremendous forces against this kind of progress of humankind. We have to recognize them and overcome them. Vote for Hillary!!!!

The key now is that you have to ask if they are registered to vote. It's too late to register. We are not looking for general people in the population, but a particular sub-group of the population who are registered to vote.

I saw a Facebook post about kids threatening not to come home for the holidays if their parents vote for Trump!
