ANAHEIM, CA—In a fiery speech
delivered to students at the Anaheim Convention Center over the weekend, former
President Barack Obama reportedly urged young voters to get out there and
ignore how many lousy candidates the Democratic Party runs. “We’re experiencing
a crisis in our democracy that can only be stopped by showing up to vote for
people who will fight for transformative change, but until we start offering
that, please just go to your polling place and cast your vote for whichever
mediocre Democrat is on the ballot,” said Obama, pressing young people to avoid
thinking about the actual track records and ideological beliefs of Democratic
Party politicians who have been in government for years and just concentrating
on the (D) next to their name. “We have too many eligible voters who are
staying home on Election Day instead of standing up to the Republican Party by
voting for Democrats who are in many respects exactly like their Republican
opponents. Less than one in five young Americans voted in the 2014 midterms
because our party ran very few good candidates, and we implore you to go out
and vote this time even though we’re doing that again. What’s important for the
future of America is that you just close your eyes, don’t think about it too
hard, and select that name.” At press time, Obama urged the young generation of
voters to stand up and save the U.S. democracy, since his generation of
Democratic politicians was not capable of such a feat.
