Because people like Pookie are almost certainly not informed to know anything about the elections you want them to participate in. You can be poor and still informed, so it's not about socioeconomic status, but if you have to be dragged to the polls what are the chances you even know who or what's on the ballot and have formed an opinion about either?Anyhow, what would be wrong about encouraging the cousins Pookie to get out and vote?
I do not want Pookies to vote, just like I don't want Badgers or Skinny Petes to vote either.
Did I miss the companion thread you started wherein you bitched about the Tea Party dingbats voting?
