To my US followers: Please vote.
9 years ago
I'm... really not messing around here. Please vote tomorrow, if you haven't voted already, and vote blue across the board. I know Hillary isn't the optimal candidate, I know she has problems, I know the two-party system is fucked up and corrupt, but I trust her more than any other non-Repub, and we need all hands on deck to keep Trump out of office.
All that third-party voting does, based on centuries of experience, is split the vote. Just look at the election that got George W. Bush in office, or the one where Teddy Roosevelt split off from the Democrats and formed the Bull Moose. I know Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are appealing, but in the end, Hillary Clinton is the one who stands the most chance of preventing Trump from taking the presidency.
I'm terrified of Trump and his gang. I'm really fucking terrified. I'm terrified of the people I love, many of whom belong to minorities, being punished for crimes they never committed. Being hurt by bigots because an even bigger bigot is in power. The teeming masses of Trump supporters are violent as all hell. All I want is to minimize the damage done to the people I care about.
If you're only going to comment to kvetch about how Hillary is untrustworthy or how GJ and JS are the only thing standing between us and societal collapse, I don't want to hear it, and may God have mercy on your soul if you try and claim Trump isn't all that bad. The third-party candidates' percentages are infinitesimal in comparison with Donald and Hillary's. Trump and his followers are monstrous on an unprecedented level.
I'm sorry I have to be vocal about this, but... please, do what's right. Vote blue.
Thank you for listening. Shalom Aleichem.
