Transcript
00:15I've been waiting a long time for this to happen.
00:20I know. I was thinking the exact same thing.
00:24We should get out of here.
00:27Well, that's a full word.
00:28No, I meant to get to the polls.
00:30Oh, get to the polls. I think I get you.
00:35Yeah, let's go vote our brains out.
00:39Hey, boss, gonna go vote.
00:41I know, I know. Back in 30.
00:44My boss, not very civic-minded. Come on, let's go.
00:47Wait, you're serious about voting. What's the point?
00:52Uh, education, health care, immigration,
00:56and my personal favorite, minimum wage, for now.
01:01Are you gonna come?
01:03Evidently not.
01:13Hey, buddy, did you say you were gonna go vote?
01:16Yeah, man.
01:17I've been to the polling station,
01:18and there's people all around the block,
01:21so don't even go there.
01:22I waited six years to become a citizen.
01:23I can't wait to vote.
01:24Really? Did you get that hot girl's number in there?
01:27Listen, buddy, there's 160 million girls in America,
01:30and only one of them likes you.
01:32And I think she's ready to have her ballot punched right now.
01:36So get back in there.
01:38No, don't do that.
01:40Are you kidding me?
01:41You're ruining your life.
01:47Hey, buddy, haven't you ever posted on social media
01:50and liked stuff online?
01:52Well, that's voting.
01:53Just do that more often.
01:55What are you talking about?
01:55That's like saying that chatting with a stranger
01:57on the internet is the same thing
01:59as having a real girlfriend.
02:00Says the man who just left a beautiful woman
02:02to stand in line with a bunch of losers.
02:06All right, you know what?
02:06I'm out of my way, man.
02:10Oh, you again.
02:12Okay, my opinion, all politicians are the same.
02:16Why even vote?
02:17Come on, man.
02:18The two parties have major differences
02:19on the roles of government in people's lives,
02:21on the environment, policing, foreign policy.
02:23Where do you hear that?
02:24Media?
02:25You know what your problem is?
02:27You're addicted to facts.
02:29Facts have nothing to do with politics.
02:32My suggestion, go get the line for Jeopardy,
02:35because this line ain't for you, brother.
02:39Right?
02:40Right.
02:44What?
02:45Oh.
02:46Um, hi.
02:47Hey.
02:49I thought about what you said earlier,
02:53and I really...
02:55Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
02:56Now, this is your first time, right?
02:59And don't you think you should wait
03:00for the perfect candidate?
03:03Nothing in life is perfect.
03:05Well, I'm not saying it's gonna be perfect.
03:08I'm just saying this is an important decision, right?
03:12Uh, is that an I voted sticker?
03:16Yes.
03:17Yes, this is an I voted sticker,
03:20which I got for you,
03:22because then you don't have to vote.
03:25I should've known.
03:26You can tell them that you voted.
03:27The people who shout the loudest about something being bad
03:29are always the ones doing it in secret.
03:31Well, you know what?
03:33The truth is,
03:34one vote doesn't make a difference.
03:35Oh, yeah, but if I get my friends,
03:37and they get their friends,
03:39power numbers, baby.
03:40Well, that's assuming that you actually got friends.
03:43Okay, come on.
03:44We're up.
03:45We're up, yeah.
03:46Everybody knows millennials don't vote.
03:49Listen, dude.
03:50Millennials are one-third of all eligible voters.
03:5383 million of us.
03:55If we all vote,
03:56we decide our own future.
03:57That's a big if.
03:58Yeah.
03:58Yeah, so there's 83 million of you
04:00living in the same mother's basement.
04:07Was it good for you?
04:08Yeah, so quick.
