RuPaul: 'We Need to Make Voting Sexy for Young People'

During this weekend New York City Drag Con, RuPaul spoke with New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow in from of the huge crowd at the Javits Center about everything from Brett Kavanaugh to social justice. During their discussion, Ru asked the columnist what he thought it would take to get more people to vote in the midterm elections. He answered that it was necessary to convince complacent Americans to vote even when their party is in power.

"When people win they get lazy, and when they lose they get angry. And it is only after people have lost that they actually show up because they're angry," Blow told the crowd. "You can't just participate when you're pissed off. You have to participate because you believe that you want a future where you don't have to go through these cycles of anger and depression every decade."

"It's very sad," the RuPaul responded. "It's our job to somehow make voting sexy for young people. I don't know what else to do really. Attach it to Grindr? We're open to suggestions."
