The whole "say one good thing about Candidate X without mentioning Candidate Y" argument is fundamentally stupid. The candidate you vote for isn't meant to be the perfect encapsulation of your own personal ideals. That's a near impossibility. Instead, the onus should be on...
...voters to determine whether or not they need a new candidate at all. Anyone voting third party or not voting at all is misunderstanding how, whether we like it or not, the US works when it comes to major elections. If democracy is in peril (it is), one must vote...
...against fascism. I'm no big fan of neither Biden nor Harris but that really doesn't matter. I'm not here to choose my favorites. I've determined there is a problem which needs flushing out and the best way to do that is, obviously, through the ONLY other viable party...
...So spare me the moral superiority of "both candidates are bad." I know. We all know. But only one of them 1) is keeping children in concentration camps on the border, 2) betrayed the Kurds, 3) enacted a Muslim Ban, 4) banned transgender military personnel...
...5) sought Russian interference in the upcoming election, 6) knew about Russian bounties on US troops, 7) has inspired violence from domestic terrorists, 8) openly opposes the BLM movement...I could go on...
...There's so much wrong with Trump and his guilty administration, it baffles me to think there are still people who view this as a "nothing will fundamentally change" election. The damage Trump has caused may be irreparable if we allow him a second term...
...He's already admitted he wants to remove social security benefits, for example. The only way to get rid of him is to vote for the opposite party. Not your favorite party. Not the candidate you want to brag to your friends you voted for because you didn't want to be stuck...
...between the lesser of two evils. The answer is Biden/Harris, clear as day. This is a fight for democracy, not a fight for identity politics. If it has to be a resentful vote, make sure you vote right anyways. Because even if it doesn't come back to bite *you* on the ass...
...someone in the US will suffer the consequences of a second Trump term. Maybe even someone you know. Elections aren't for identifying your moral beliefs. They are for deciding whether to take out the trash. We really need to take out the trash.
