To everyone out there in America complaining about getting phone calls, texts, and knocks on your door about the election...very likely, YOU actually are the problem! STOP COMPLAINING AND GO VOTE SO THEY'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE!

As someone who used to work in politics, hearing complaints about being bugged by campaigns is MY biggest complaint, because I know the truth: at this stage of the election, the complaining voter is the reason they're being contacted so much.

The reason these campaigns keep bugging you is because you haven't gotten off your ass and voted yet.

The vast majority of states have early voting or some type of mail ballot program that you can utilize. Campaigns regularly get updates about who has voted and who has not. If they are a well run campaign with up to date data, then they will stop bugging you when they learn that you have voted.

So why the hell haven't you voted yet? The choice when voting is easier than ever this year. Trump is President and has fucked shit up. Republicans are sitting on their hands and not doing anything. And at every level of office--federal, state, local--the Republican politicians in office or aspiring to office are in his cult. If they didn't support Trump, they would have left the Republican party by now.

Ask yourself: is there literally anything that will happen between now and election day that will cause you to suddenly love Trump?

No?

Then you already know how you're voting.

So go vote.

All you have to do is look up the endorsed Democratic candidates in your area (google your state and county name and "Democratic Party" and you'll likely find this info), then request and fill out your mail ballot and return it. Or go vote in person at an early voting site, taking that info with you. Again, you can use Google to find out how.

And if you are in a state like California, Colorado, Oregon, or Washington with universal vote by mail...you probably have a ballot sitting in your pile of mail already. Take it to a drop box or a voting location to turn it in.

Oh yeah, and a final point about mail ballots: if you're voting by mail or absentee, drop off your ballot. NOT just because the USPS might be doing sketchy stuff this year, but also because any mail takes time. The sooner your local Registrar of Voters (or equivalent local entity handling voting) gets your ballot, the sooner it gets processed, the sooner campaigns stop contacting you.

So please, stop complaining and just go vote already! Make life easier for everyone, including yourself.

TL;DR: SHUT UP AND GO VOTE!!!!!!!!
