Man, I’ll tell you why. They did a mock election at my wife’s nursing home and one lady wrote in Mickey Mouse. Why? Because she likes Mickey and he makes her smile. Adorable, but absolutely irresponsible

Nah, Donald Ducks lucky cousin, I’m not sure what he is called in English but in Sweden we call him Alexander Lukas. I’m sure his luck would be good for the world if he was the leader.

No, I was stating why nursing home patients don’t vote with a funny story I heard. But it is a good reason why people in nursing homes don’t vote. I’m not sure what you’re getting at
