Leftists outraged by non-existent problem.

The University of Texas is moving its voting station from the Flawn Academic Center to the Texas Union, much to the dismay of some left-wing students who are afraid this will "throw off" and "distract" their comrades on Election Day.

Brian Peña, a senior at UT and President of the University Democrats, whined to the Austin American-Statesman that:

"We're disappointed in UT Austin, because this is a such a significant decision to make that has a lot of impact on students without any heads up, and they know how often we're fighting this fight. Students are so used to regularly voting at the FAC, it's going to significantly throw off (and) distract."

Well, cry me a river, Brian. UT spokesperson Mike Rosen said the new voting area will be next to Chick-fil-A and Panda Express on the main corridor of the Texas Union. I mean, come on, who doesn't want to vote surrounded by the delicious aroma of fried chicken and orange chicken?

Peña and his liberal buddies are worried that the new location will be too crowded and that students will have to wait in line for hours to vote. Boo hoo. Maybe if they didn't spend all their time whining and trying to turn this country into a socialist utopia, they'd have less to complain about.

The real issue here is that these lefties are just mad that their vote-harvesting scheme might be thwarted. Let's be real, they're probably right that long lines will discourage some students from voting. But you know what? If you can't be bothered to wait in line to vote, then you probably don't care that much about the issue anyway.

And let's not forget, this is Texas. Home of the almighty GOP and red-blooded Americans who love their guns and freedom. These liberals are just mad that their blue wave isn't going to crash as hard as they thought in a state where Trump won by 9 points in 2016.

So dry those tears, snowflakes. You might just have to wait in line like the rest of us. And who knows, maybe you'll learn a lesson about patience and the value of hard work. But I doubt it.
