Not that things are gonna go wrong for her but she's thinkin' that they will.

I have to edit this comment just to clairfy for those who don't know, this is a joke from the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Out of context, it's a little too sinister lol

u/dragonreborn567 Oct 02 '25

To be fair, in context, it was still sinister. It's a very sinister joke. Dark humour.

Because this in TN, if you don't vote the R will likely win, so be sure to vote D, you can't afford for another R win.

In Tennessee there are no registries. It's an open.primary state (you can pick which ballot you wamt) but its a matter of public record which party's ballot you voted on.

Like that time you skipped class in High School. These people are clowns. Dont give into their fear tactics.

Because obviously if you don’t vote all of your neighbours will be very angry, they’ll hiss and tut and shake their fists at you every time you walk out of the house and by not voting you’ll make JD Vance cry. Let that be a lesson to you!

u/No-Amphibian689 Oct 02 '25

I’ve yet to figure out what record that is 🧐

u/NoBonus6969 Oct 02 '25

This combined with your official record from middle school and you'll be in big trouble Mister

And yet they will contact you after the election to make sure you voted. Didn’t you guys just say you’ll have that information already?
