To the contrary - those are the people who make me want to vote even more!
The thing about NY is, most of the time if you live upstate, your vote doesn't count. You're always going to give your electoral votes to the Democrat candidate, thanks to the city. So I usually feel like my vote is futile, but I go ahead and do it anyway because it's the responsible thing to do.
But when I hear stories like that, and I hear people so fixated on the most mundane things, THAT motivates me to spread the word to others and get them motivated to vote too.
But hey, if funny accents and overpriced clothes are all they've got to throw at her, I suppose my side comes out on top.
