Small rant:
I have this one friend on fb who shares a lot of political stuff and I agree with his views like, 95%. But when Biden announced he was running for POTUS, he said he refused to vote for him. Granted, this was before Sanders dropped out and weâre both hella Bernie 1/

supporters, so I sort of agreed with him.
Cut to, idk, a week ago when, obviously, we were down to the 2 main candidates and he said he still refuses to vote for Biden. He keeps a close eye on 3rd party candidates (which is fair, you do you). He commented on a mutual friendâs 2/

post where they said they hated both candidates (again fair, everyone has their own views) and didnât know who to vote for, or if they should vote at all.
Cue the Dude, who brought up names of 3rd party candidates and suggested doing research on a specific one of them. 3/

And it... sort of irked me a little.
I agree 1000% that the two party system is bullshit and that the Founding Fathers are perpetually rolling over in their graves because of the mess that is this country as a result of it, and that we NEED change in the way our political 4/

system functions. Iâm not educated enough to say how, so I wonât, but bottom line is that it needs reform.
But now is not the time to do it. There isnât enough time. Election Day is less than a month away.

Biden. Once again (as I think he did in 2016, unless he did a write in) he is voting 3rd party (I think). Maybe Iâm being dramatic (I donât think so) but in my eyes, not voting, a 3rd party vote, or a write-in, is essentially a vote for Trump. 6/
No, I donât agree with everything Biden has said and promised. I donât agree with all of his beliefs. But Iâd much, much rather have him as our President than Trump. A thousand times over.

is after (less than) 4 years under a Trump presidency. If you donât see it, doing that broad gesture would be useless because youâre choosing to turn a blind eye. That means youâre choosing to be blind to the 210,000+ people who are DEAD because of Trumpâs 8/
absolutely HORRENDOUS dealing of Covid-19. It means youâre overlooking the fact that our country is on fire because of irreversible climate change that Trump calls a âhoaxâ. Youâre closing your eyes to the systemic racism spread much like a disease itself across our land. 9/
Youâre pretending there arenât LITERAL CHILDREN locked in CAGES at our border. I could go on, for so, so very long. This thread could probably end up novel-sized, if printed out. 10/
No, Joe Biden is not the perfect candidate. That isnât something that exists. But heâs 100000% better than Trump, and refusing to vote or voting 3rd party is letting Trump win. Again. And subjecting us to 4 more years of blasphemy and destruction.
