I've been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can't believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C'mon guys

2000 was decided by hundreds of votes. 2020 was decided by thousands of votes. Don't play stupid games with democracy, to risk an outright fascist doing the horrible shit he's openly said he wants to do.

Only two candidates stand any chance of winning.

One of them tried subverting the 2020 election in at least seven distinct criminal attacks. And he's even more of an Israel fanboy. You gain absolutely fucking nothing by pretending your no-name no-chance nobody is some kind of statement. Make statements with your mouth. Use your ballot to prevent electing a dictator.
