Civics, Friday, September 21, 2018

Today Steve and Tony met the class out in front of Portalocity. "We're going to register people to vote," Steve said with way too much enthusiasm, "in Brooklyn."

"Prepare for lectures about moral purity in not voting, " Tony said dryly. He judged Steve for choosing Brooklyn. He judged him so much. "Consider it practice for college."

"If you absolutely have to, you may kick one Bernie Bro in the shin. But only one," Steve said, handing out registration forms to everyone.

Tony mouthed 'At least three' behind Steve's back before giving the class a thumbs up. "Stick together. Captain Rogers and myself will be there if you need any help."

"The first person to register 20 new voters gets extra credit," Steve said with a smile.

You are also not allowed to kick people for starting their rant about both parties being the same.

Paris. Paris, you're not allowed in particular.

Alright, then. Time to see how well a fourteen year old blonde girl from the wrong ~~decade~~ century with a Captain America sock puppet could get people to to register to vote in Brooklyn, she supposed.

The results were incredibly mixed, but went slightly better when she remembered to smile and played up the cuteness factor, which she kind of hated herself for, but, hey, results.

Her favorite ones, though, were the ones who did it when her approach was something along the lines of, "Hey, my teachers are exploiting my youthful energy and cuteness to get people to register to vote, so if you could just do me a solid, it'll take maybe two seconds."

And she was not even going to ask what a Bernie Bro was.

Paris ended up kicking three Bernie Bros and twisting the ear of someone who admitted to voting Green Party.

But she also registered 23 ~~terrified~~ people to vote, so that mattered more, right?
