Today is Election Day, and you know, voting kicks ass, right?<\/p>\n
The midterms are in many ways voters\u2019 first real referendum on the Donald Trump experiment, which is going spectacularly well<\/a>, thanks for asking. While Republicans are expected to keep their majority in the U.S. Senate, there\u2019s a good chance the House will turn blue, offering up a strengthened opposition to Trump\u2019s more goonish instincts. That would kick ass.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important who you vote for, too. Right now, the Republican majority is failing to kick a sufficient amount of ass. In fact, it might be kicking negative ass. It\u2019s currently a cadre of morally bankrupt, store brand oligarchs who don\u2019t give a fuck about their own constituents, let alone women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, and anyone else who isn\u2019t a rich white dude.<\/p>\n Your vote needs to be for things that do kick ass. Things like expanded access to healthcare and a not-racist approach to immigration. Both of those things kick a lot of ass, as do constitutional protections for transgender Americans and not gutting voting rights. Vote for candidates who are pro-ass kicking (unlike Wisconsin attorney general Brad Schimel, who\u2019s up for re-election today and claims to kick ass every day<\/a> yet failed to have more than 6,000 rape kits tested and also lied about it).<\/p>\n Make your voice heard! Go out there, cast your ballot, and kick some ass.<\/span>\n
