Look at me. Look me in the eye. On November the 8th, 2016, one of two things will happen: Hillary Clinton will become president, or Donald Trump will become president. These are the only two possibilities. The superdelegates aren’t going to switch. An indictment isn’t coming. There is no third possibility. There is no space between the spaces where you can hide. Every vote for Donald Trump requires two Hilary Clinton votes to overcome. A Hillary Clinton vote can only be overcome by two Donald Trump votes. If you stay home, a Donald Trump vote doubles its power. This is the real, actual reality of the situation. There is not one other option.
And there’s no ctrl-alt-del for the election. Read up on 2000 if you doubt this.
As someone who lived through the 2000 elections and everything that happened after – Please, do not put this country through that bullshit again. Abstentions are not counted. There is no “no confidence” vote.
And – and I say this a lot, but I’m gonna keep saying it because I feel like y’all aren’t listening – THERE ARE MORE ELECTIONS THIS YEAR THAN JUST THE PRESIDENTIAL ONE. The president cannot do jack without Congress. This has always been so. The right Congress can keep even Trump in check. The wrong Congress will keep us with an 8-judge Supreme Court for the better part of a year in hopes that somehow Romney will emerge from the ashes of 2012, hipcheck Trump out of there, and give them a pretense of respectability again. We’ve all seen how fucking little this obstructionist, bullshit Congress has gotten done for the last eight years. For fuck’s sake, vote in ALL the elections, not just one. Government takes ALL of us, not one person. Don’t throw the whole thing out over one fucking person.
I’ve said this before and I’ll keep saying it until this election from hell is over:
It’s been bad enough living with a constant low-key terror for the past year. I don’t want to have to live like this for this next four to eight years.
Do not make me live in a country where the president thinks my family are drug-dealing rapists.
