I am so pissed at myself right now. I forgot to vote. How? I don't know. It just escaped me. I fully intended to vote for [insert Democratic candidate] for Senate and now I have [insert Republican candidate] as my Senator for the next six years for the state of [insert State]. Even worse, I now have to worry about [pressing issue] and the possibility of rolling back [next pressing issue].
What really upsets me is that from now until [insert next election year], my opinion will really not matter. I can't say to people, "well, I didn't vote for [insert Republican candidate] I voted for [insert Democratic candidate].
Yes, I know. It's my fault. I just wish someone [insert Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Howard Dean] or some organization like [insert Moveon, DNC, DCCC, DSCC] would have reminded me to vote one more time. I never would have forgotten then.
How could I be so stupid!. I even knew where to vote [insert polling location] and what time it opened [insert polling station hours].
There is no excuse, except maybe I [insert drank, slept, worked] too much and it just escaped me.
Well, it's too late now. I guess I will just have to live with [insert Speaker Boehner, draconian anti-abortion laws, no health care, high unemployment, subpoenas, gridlock] for a couple of more years. I am sure my [kids, partner, spouse, co-workers, citizens, America's future] will just have to get through it.
Even though I screwed up this time, you can totally count on me to vote in [insert some year in the distant future]. After all, I take this stuff very serously.
