A British comic’s brilliant reason to stop voting just went viral.

It might sound unlikely until you watch it, but Russell Brand makes a pretty great case against voting. Obviously, you’re a fully-formed human being capable of making your own decisions about what not voting would actually mean, but consider what Brand has to say at 1:35 and 5:36. On a side note, not once during…

Unfortunately, not voting often has the terrible repercussions of women’s rights being taken away, reversals in LGBTQQ legislation, and increases in anti-immigration policies, to name a few. The point Brand is making isn’t that we should let ourselves be walked on — it’s that we are already getting walked on but think we’re making progress.
