In OK, 1,600,000 eligible voters didn't show up to the polls in the 2012 election. Republicans won the state by 440,000. It might seem hopeless; it might be a long shot, but vote anyway. If enough people decide voting is important, maybe next time the election is only lost by 100,000...then 10,000...then people see it as important and you change the system. The only time your vote doesn't count is when you don't cast it.

I was there. Move over Kony2012, make way for SorryStranger2014. I'm off to apologize to a stranger...this is a thing now.

If you spend your time teaching kids what to do and finding ways of reinforcing appropriate behavior, you don't need to waste your time finding harsher punishments.

Is...is this the Ask Me Another Jonathon Coulton? This is blowing my mind.

Edit: spelling.

I understand the sentiment because I think Bernie conveys his message better on the stump or in interviews than on the debate stage. That said, I would be so disappointed to see our debate stage turn into the shit show that the GOP continues to display. Let's keep discussing issues and pointing out differences and stay away from personal attacks and garbage talk. I want to hear solutions, and I would love for them to go into more depth on their actual plans.
