@Alex Capwell yes and no. Remove the "not not" and you end up with 'there is no excuse to vote' which means the same. But the joke is about you not being able to not vote and get away with it. So the "not vote" needs to be in the sentence to continue the joke.
The thing with this one is that to deploy it safely, you need to either be either completely informed or clueless. The thing that'll really kill you is having just enough knowledge to risk being surprised by the outcome.

@Ayy Yo You can't possibly have missed the things Trump does, they're outright ridiculous. I'm not sure Hillary would have been a better choice, but I think that she is more mentally stable than Trump.
Nowadays the strategy is to pick a side and then blame the other side for everything and bring it up for every issue that ever comes up, even if not related to politics.
Hell no, that'd be the worst thing. Everyone voting third party or write in to shake things up would be great, nobody voting is how you end up with the old aristocracy system back in place.
There's a novel written around that idea: Seeing, by José Saramago. Great Portuguese writer, well worth having a look. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_(novel)
@Eric Rogers More Republicans vote on election day, not only, and there are real people that vote Democrat, especially when you have a conspiracy nut like Trump destroying my preferred party.
It’s interesting around the 90s I think to around 2012. Most people didn’t care or know much about politics and the elections. However, from 2016 and after it’s totally a different story. Almost everything is politicized now and even kids talk about it. Families and friends get separated because of it.

My poor republican grandfather 🤦♀️
Ayy Yo the news outlet
@Ayy Yo You can't possibly have missed the things Trump does, they're outright ridiculous. I'm not sure Hillary would have been a better choice, but I think that she is more mentally stable than Trump.
Independent is a party
"At this point, there's hardly a difference between the two parties" lmao classic
This TH-cam algorithm is spot on. It's October 25, 2020. I'll come back after Election Day, joyous that I don't have to give a shit anymore
Nowadays the strategy is to pick a side and then blame the other side for everything and bring it up for every issue that ever comes up, even if not related to politics.
"Did you know?
Women can vote too!"
@Truth Seeker dude, it's okay if women don't like you, you don't need to make it publicly known
@@pedroocm Careful, your simp is showing.
@@riftis2210 you think simp is an actual insult🤣
@Mark Beatriz the guy deleted his comment
This video could not have been recommended to me at such a good time.
0:14 “just couldn’t care less”.
He used the expression correctly!
Just got recommended this in Sep 2024. See you after the election💀
Just as relevant in 2016.
I know it's a year later, and I hope this doesn't sound mean but... You sir, look like Rick Astley.
And just as relevant in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024...off-year elections 2019, 2021...you get the idea.
This works at anytime :)
Just as relevant in 2019 even though the election isn't for another year.
I feel like people care about the election now
It's the demented CO Humphrey from Orange is the New Black! He's funny.
I knew he looked familiar, youtube comments for the win yet again!
lol!! I noticed right away. Crazy coincidence, I'm rewatching that show for the second time right now.
the guy that plays him is actually called Michael Torpey but i’m honestly surprised that they’re not the same person
I promise I won't talk about TH-cam algorithm tonight.
"Not Voting is easy; more than half the population does it!"
You said it.
This couldn't have come back at a better time. TH-cam knows what we need to be recommended
algorithm isnt as broke as we thought
why did "shanandera" get me more than the entire well crafted comedy sketch
The Onion's actors put SNL to shame. When Jim stuttered at "Dem-Demo..." I honestly thought the actor was confused for real.
The way he immediately followed up with the “yes..yes I made this one” as if he’s proud had me dying.
This aged well
How?
The premise really doesn’t age.
Thank you TH-cam algorithm
Him having trouble with the word “Democrat” made me snort
"Is your child at risk of becoming fat like you?"
Ahaha, I love it.
TH-cams recommended timing is impeccable. I needed this today
Imagine if no one voted on election day, it would be so great.
Hell no, that'd be the worst thing.
Everyone voting third party or write in to shake things up would be great, nobody voting is how you end up with the old aristocracy system back in place.
rgderen88 Imagine if jokes were made, that would be so great
@raffle baffle "Who?" - Korath, 2012
(I know we had a JoJo running, though)
There's a novel written around that idea: Seeing, by José Saramago. Great Portuguese writer, well worth having a look. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_(novel)
@Eric Rogers More Republicans vote on election day, not only, and there are real people that vote Democrat, especially when you have a conspiracy nut like Trump destroying my preferred party.
Recommended again in 2024 as predicted. Epic.
I love how I've never even once looked up politics and then the algorithm just sends me this.
This has been recommended to me for the last two elections. I always forget it exists. But this beautiful video is always here for me
Damn, "I'm an independent" I use that excuse everyday!! I didn't want everyone to know my secrets.
It’s interesting around the 90s I think to around 2012. Most people didn’t care or know much about politics and the elections. However, from 2016 and after it’s totally a different story. Almost everything is politicized now and even kids talk about it. Families and friends get separated because of it.
That's the plan . . .
Keep people divided and dumb.
Replace the movie celebrity with the political celebrity.
Oh, it was happening before then too. Social media just made the whole thing more public than it used to be.
This video coming in clutch once every 4 years
Thank you algorithm, how appropriate
Lol the fact that this showed up in my recommended 3 days before the 2020 election 😂😂✌
FateAndFurie ikr 🤣
What about it?
I can see why this was recommended to me after 12 years. Very relevant.
