Barack Obama Brutally Shuts Down People’s Lame Excuses For Not Voting

[ballscout1]

“You can’t use Google to figure out which candidates on your local ballot think that the earth is flat and climate change is a hoax?”

Barack Obama is done with people’s lame excuses for not voting in the upcoming midterm elections this November.

So, in a new “Get Out The Vote” video from media company ATTN, the former president amusingly picks apart seven common reasons people give for not bothering to exercise their democratic right to cast a ballot.

“You can’t use Google to figure out which candidates on your local ballot think that the earth is flat and climate change is a hoax?” Obama asks at one point, as he tackles some people’s claims that they’re not informed enough to make a decision.

And for those folks who don’t bother voting in the midterms because they are “boring,” Obama delivers this takedown: “You know what’s boring? Scrolling through endless photos of your dinner on Instagram.”

In 2000 when I voted for al Gore and bush won even though he almost lost by a million popular votes...society told me popular vote doesn't matter only electoral...I decided to resign from voting after that day

You know someone can criticize Obama
Without loving trump.
I stomped for both Obama and Clinton when they campaigned

The black vote and turnout wasn’t the issue
That’s one group of people he didn’t have to lecture

I think its a problem more places than not.

Especially when they try to suppress and put up obstacles.

It would be less effective if we had higher numbers of eligible voters vote....and again I am talking local starte and congressional (midterms)

 

[NightMare Paint]

Dude needs to stop with the lecturing

So you're saying he needs to stop telling people what they need to do...

Word? So what should he be doing with his influence on the issue? Sit idle while more assholes take office? What would you as the advisor to the blue do to get lazy sorry ass people off their ass in to vote? Tell me. And if you think he’s an elitist lecturer it’s because he is. You didn’t see any of his debates or speeches? That’s what O do mane. Bend wills

 

[BitchI'llKillYa]

Dude needs to stop with the lecturing

Lmao at telling a former professor to stop lecturing...

His formal title was "senior lecturer," but the University of Chicago Law School says he "served as a professor" and was "regarded as" a professor.

 

[Mt. Yukon]

Its not why that buffon is in office. Allot of wanna be intellectual people voting for candidates that had no chance at winning diluted the Democrats base, on top of a bunch of racist cacs voting for Trump. But I can't say that more of us voting wouldn't have made a difference. It was allot of apathy all around from the dems base.

I voted twice in my life and both of those times were for Obama.Will I do it again,maybe or maybe not but I know that I will not lend my vote based on the person solely being black again ....fool me once,shame on you,fool me twice,shame on me,I'm not falling for the shit again.Polititricks is just that a tricks but there's more power in the dollar than it is a vote at this moment in time.

You realize had you and people like you voted in midterms when Obama was in office, the tea part may not have taken over the Congress and House.

Obama had a an obstructionist Congress his entire term because people sat out midterms. Those tickets were DETERMINED to see him fail. Cost a seat on Supreme Court, cost single payer health care. Student loan reform, criminal justice reform.

Imaging what he could have accomplished if Dem voters turned out to midterms.

I only vote for Obama

No Obama on the ballet = I don’t vote

And this is why all those crazy white people who no one took serious finally have a voice in Washington.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Obama gonna be telling you y’all grandkids kids need to vote

NYC makes the right choice when it comes to elections as far as President , remember we voted for Hilary no need to get my vote...it's the other moronic states that you have to worry about

I guess a parent, I got to set an example for girls and peers...I need them to understand that be active in your community and voting on ALL levels is important.

[BitchI'llKillYa]

Kinda what he was doing bruh...

But point remains midterms are just as if not more important than presidential elections the house and congeess can derail a presidency. And have HUGE implications on local and state issues

C'mon Bro.
I've always KNOWN you're way smarter than this.
There's NO WAY that "tallblacknyc" is gonna let some corrupt, underhanded, rich, White assholes discourage/stop him from voting.
Not after all the inhumane treatment the ancestors went through, suffered and ultimately died for to ensure the rights of us all...

 

[blackbull1970]

VOTE OR DIE!

If you look into what the GOP and their Dark Money donors have planned....you would be camping out at the voting place like mofos do when a new iPhone comes out.

VOTE!
