don’t vote for the best candidate.
vote for the one most likely to remove a republican.
it’s that simple.
Vote them out.
Vote for the candidate that sees every person as a human being.
not if they can’t win, buddy. i’m serious. LISTEN. VOTE OUT THE REPUBLICANS. EVEN IF THAT MEANS VOTING IN SOME REGULAR ASSHOLES.
if the candidate who sees every person as a human being is green party, then you vote for the democrat who sees every person as a stepping stone, because unless we get rid of the republican who sees every person as a target a lot of us are going to goddamn die. people are dying already. like, not to guilt you, but if we don’t get a democratic majority in the house and senate ASAP we’re screwed.
it doesn’t fucking matter if you voted for Jesus Actual Christ if he was running on a penny ante party ticket. we need you to vote for Joe Slick Bastard Democrat instead, because there is no such thing as a green party majority in the senate, do you understand? there will not be a green party speaker of the house. green party will not get to put up supreme court nominees.
if you vote for the Good People instead of the democrats, we’re gonna end up back in this toilet bowl again, only deeper this time because the republicans will take it as a mandate to do whatever they want.
take a deep breath, put on rubber gloves, and touch the poop. don’t be precious.
OK, I actually meant the Dems were more likely to see us all as human beings, but you are correct in that the candidate you pick needs to be able to win. So let me revise what I said: In this country, right now, right here, we do not have third party candidates who can win. We are in this mess right now because of two things: People who didn’t vote in 2016, and people who voted for a third party, far-distant, not-a-snowball’s-chance-in-hell of winning. We can’t afford that kind of apathy or that kind of selfish self-righteousness. You do not have to personally like the Dem you vote for. This is not a popularity contest. We need people who will fix the mess we are in, whether you personally like them or not.
If you want to “send a message”, do it by voting for the person who is NOT a Republican but IS on the Democrat ticket. And I don’t care if the Repubs in your area seem like decent people because they did something for a local kids’ charity or you met them and they seemed nice. Republicans are keeping Trump in office. They are all complicit in Trump and his minions shitting on our Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights. VOTE. THEM. OUT.
Right now, the Republicans have aligned themselves with destructive and retrograde positions on issues ranging from climate change to health care to immigration. They have cynically curried favor with white people who’ve been fed a phantasmatic narrative of racial superiority, and who cling to this story, and the guys who dish it out, even at their own material expense–even when the fantasy’s been exposed as a con.
Republican leadership has marched in lockstep behind a President who may quite possibly have been installed through the machinations of the Russian government. They know he’s dangerous. They don’t, apparently, care about that.
These guys are devoted to no one but themselves.
Vote them out.
listen.
