A warning from a gay man of color regarding voting for 2016


Hi everyone. Cordell here again. I am very concerned about a trend I'm seeing on social media. Yes I know earlier I said I gave up all my accounts but certain family members talked me into going back. That being said, I got up and noticed that quite a few people said that they don't think their votes will matter come 2016. It greatly disturbs me on so many levels. I am here to plead no plead is too weak of a word, I am here to beg everyone to please do not sit home next year. Too much is at stake for us to do that.

My biggest fear is that enough people will stay home and not vote which will hand the republicans the white house as well as the Senate and the house. It does not take much of an imagination to figure out what they will do when they get the halls of power. I just want to talk briefly about some of the things we'll lose if we all stay home in 2016.

Returned The Executive Branch To Fiscal Responsibility

Within his first week, he signed an Executive Order ordering an audit of government contracts, and combating waste and abuse. http://1.usa.gov/dUvbu5

Created the post of Chief Performance Officer, whose job it is to make operations more efficient to save the federal government money. http://n.pr/hcgBn1

On his first full day, he froze White House salaries. http://on.msnbc.com/ewJUIx

He appointed the first Federal Chief Information Officer to oversee federal IT spending.http://www.cio.gov

He committed to phasing out unnecessary and outdated weapons systems. To that end, he also signed the Democratic-sponsored Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act, which attempted to put a stop to waste, fraud and abuse in the defense procurement and contracting system. http://bit.ly/hOw1t1http://bit.ly/fz8GAd

Through an executive order, he created the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. http://bit.ly/hwKhKa

Republicans have told us for decades that they believe in physical responsibility yet when they are in charge, all I have ever seen them do is run up the debt. Perfect example was when Ted Cruz shut down the government last year costing us 24 billion dollars and they are threatening to do that again. I can only imagine the horror of what these guys are going to do if they get all 3 branches of government.

Ladies and I'm talking to you right now. You think it's bad in the southern states now. Imagine how bad things will get when they start passing these anti-abortion laws on a federal level. Imagine returning to the era where women have to go into a back alley to get an abortion or god forbid, going to Mexico to get an abortion and putting their lives at risk.

Imagine all those great executive orders he wrote over the last few years, wiped out by President Scott Walker, or President Donald Trump or gak, President Ben Carson. Come on are you really going to stay home because your issues are not getting addressed?

Let's not forget that the next President will get to appoint not one but maybe 3 Supreme Court justices to the bench. Imagine the court going full right wing and staying that way for the next 30 years. You think things are bad now, just wait until they use religion to justify the hatred towards people like me. You think things are bad now, just wait until workers can't unionize or better yet, wait until they make it so that you can't even get a day off any more.

You think not voting is going to send a statement? Think again. Look, I just got my rights as a gay man. I'm happy as hell I can marry who I want, but now the thought of us losing everything we've gained because people think their vote doesn't matter scares the living hell out of me. I do not post here very often but I am here pleading with my fellow liberals to do not stay home. I do not want to wake up the day after the election going back to fearing what is going to happen. I do not want to have to spend my 40s stressed out worrying that my disability is going to be cut because I'm not a billionaire. I do not want to spend my 40s worrying if I'm going to live until we can elect a democrat to the white house again.

Please everyone, I'm begging you. Make sure you get people to the polls next year. Make sure we keep the White House, Make sure we gain enough seats in the house to slow the Republican's goals. Do not forget the down ticket races either. Cause we need to take back the state houses and Governor's offices as well. And my most important plea to everyone, do not stay home in 2018. For the first time in my life I am literary scared at where this country is going. I am in fear for my life due to all the violence against people of color. I am scared at all the hate and racism I am seeing from the right. I do not want to live in fear any more. Please reassure me that everyone is going to go out and vote next year.

Thank you. I love you all


Now... go back and read it again but using a gay lisping voice...

With what McConnell has done in the senate, that is gone. Too many seats to defend and a complete crapping on the base.

The HOR will barely be republican but the GOPe could totally screw the pooch on that. Gerrymandering will only do so much both D and R.

POTUS could go R unless the GOPe keeps crapping on the base and on Trump. Then it is the democrat easily. Trump will go third party and I will give a **** YOU GOPe vote to him.  The Uni-Party is going over the cliff whether at 140 or just 90 MPH. I say rip it open quick. There is a WHIG moment coming..or it might have already come for the republicans. If iJEB! is the candidate it's done.

I have a feeling that the media and Rinos will do everything to derail Trump. Although Trump and Cruz are my two choices, I would have a hard time voting for any third party candidate which would essentially hand the election to the Hildabeast

Why is the poster so openly racist?

Rosey-red cheeks must have a sore rump from all those colorless, transparent pitchers sneaking up behind and "having their way" with him.

If iJeb! foes win there is basically no difference. A 9 versus a 10 on leftist policies.

The things I care about, illegal immigration, foreign policy, common core, erosion of the Bill of Rights there is not really a dime's worth of difference between the two. If you think the SCOTUS appointees will be substantially different look at HW and W's appointees. The only good point I can possibly see is that the media will maybe keep a lens on iJeb!. I won't vote for iJeb! period.
