We interrupt our regular programming to deliver your Shameless reminder to vote, plus a fresh votin’ video off of the YouTubes.
As my recently-transplanted-Canadian-friend-now-living-in-the-States-and-able-to-vote said:
Please go vote tomorrow. It doesn’t take much of your time and your employer is required to let you have the time needed to go vote. It’s very very simple. You can find where your voting location is on your computer or even on your phone so there’s no excuse about not knowing where to go.And saying “I dislike politics so I’m protesting by not voting” isn’t true. That’s not a protest, that’s laziness. If you refuse to vote on behalf of yourself, go vote on behalf of the billions of people in the world who desperately wish that they could have a voice in the US presidential elections. Otherwise it’s like you were handed a winning lottery ticket and decided you were too lazy to go cash it in. Take a few minutes to watch the video below. (Yes, I know the freeze frame has Tom Cruise and so you’re like “what the hell?”. Watch it anyway.)
And the video:

Two things:
1) "Tommy Cruise say don't vote?"
and
2) "I can do anything, I was in a boy band, okay."
Also, officially the first time Doogie Howser got me all choked up.

Doogie's work in Dr Horrible gets me every time.

Our comment policy
Shameless prides itself on the diversity of opinions expressed by our writers, and we encourage and appreciate different points of view. Our intention at Shameless is to foster community and to maintain a safe and positive blogging environment; we do not consider it our duty to give a voice to anybody with an opinion.
Discussion on this site is moderated. We will delete comments that:
(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
