PRESIDENT OBAMA ADDRESSES THE 7 REASONS TO NOT VOTE

 Trump is president because 
     the amount of people that go to 
          Coachella decided to skip voting in 2016


President Obama's 5 minute list covered in the video

1) I don't care about politics?
2) Why bother voting when I can't relate to the candidates?
3)  My vote doesn't matter.
4)  Mid Term elections are boring
5) I don't know the candidates well enough (Google's your friend)
6) I don't know where I'm supposed to vote.
7) I don't have time to vote.

--one of which confirmed a companies right to fire a black man for refusing to stay with his truck and die in a blizzard. The supreme court overturned Neil Gorsuch's decision while he was being confirmed by the republicans 

--the other of which, Brett Kavanaugh, who very, very, very likely attempted to rape Christine Blasey Ford, has been accused of sexually harassing (and/or assaulting) other women later while in college.

...The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday reported that a Jefferson County clerk had called the senior center, raising concerns about allowing the bus to take residents to vote. The county administrator later told the newspaper that officials considered the bus tour “political activity,” which is barred at county-sponsored events. The senior center is a county-run facility...
