You Win… When You Vote!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well folks, we’ve reached the portion of the CXC review comic pile where I’m not at all sure where I got a comic in the first place, meaning I’m not sure who made it, also meaning that they didn’t put their name in the comic. Rookie mistake, comics person! I was all set to give you credit for this comic, but here we are. This comic is exactly what it looks like: a guide for likely voters, unlikely voters, convincing unlikely voters in your family\/friend group, and all of the resources you’ll ever need to make the process as smooth as possible. I kept waiting for a punchline or a bit of cynicism, but it’s to ____’s credit that this stays exactly what it appears to be throughout. Longtime readers will know that I work in elections for a living, so it’s a subject near and dear to me, and also that I’m a member of a particular party, and you can guess which one if you ask yourself “what’s the only major political party left even slightly tethered to reality?” Yes it’s true, fence sitters, and you’re not getting to heaven any faster than anybody else by wasting your vote on a protest candidate. You also don’t get to stay “pure” while the rest of us are stuck in the mud you basic, simple child. It’s tempting to go off on a longer rant here, but that made my point well enough, I reckon. If you have questions about the voting process I’d recommend checking out this comic, or even better that linked website, which has everything you’ll ever need to learn about voting and then some. As far as how much this costs, this feels like the sort of thing handed out for free at events, but I’d guess $5 if you saw one in the wild. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
