Election Rant

I am about sick and tired of seeing all of these posts about voting for Hillary just to stop Trump from getting into the White House. They use fear tactics to dissuade people from voting for a third party because that would be “wasting your vote” and would ensure Trump the win.

You know who else uses fear tactics to get what they want? Dictatorships. Last I checked, the United States was a democracy, not a dictatorship, and I’ll be damned if I let a bunch of dictators scare me into voting for someone I don’t believe can do the job of President.

I voted for Gary Johnson and Bill Weld for my President and Vice President. I wasn’t scared into voting for Hillary or threatened into voting for Trump (my mom voted for Trump, but I didn’t feel pressured to). I voted with my head and with my heart and I feel pretty damned good about it.

Democracy isn’t pretty and it doesn’t always get you what you want, but it’s what this country was built on. Using fear tactics to get your candidate the vote or to stop someone else from voting for who they feel is the better person cheapens the election by turning it from a democracy to a dictatorship.

You can agree with me or disagree with me, that’s your choice, but I refuse to be intimidated into voting for someone I don’t believe will be an effective President. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.

If everyone involved legitimately commits it not a lost cause..

I wonder what percentile I'm in being against like 99% of the things the majority of Tumblr supports. Only wondering because the "Register to Vote" thing on my dashboard is saying all those things are "At Stake"
