Hold Your Nose And Vote Blue!
Tuesday is election day.
Get out there and do you duty... vote!
And if you have any sense at all... you'll vote blue.
Yes, it's come down to the basics. Seems we're a color-coded society now - red and blue.
The thing is... no issue is truly black and white.
So, if you are thinking about skipping out this year because of this issue or that issue... think again, my friend.
A non-vote is a vote... for the other side.
If we learned anything from that time Hillary Clinton ran for the presidency, it's that every vote counts and numbers truly matter. Had some of you not opted out of that election, we might be living in an entirely different USA today.
I get it. The world is messed up. This country? Messed up. Capitalism? Messed up. Our political system? Messed up.
But if you take a look at the two candidates - there is one that will make less of a mess out of our country than the other. There is one, in fact, who plans on doing this country even greater harm.
For those of you who think you are taking a stand by not voting? You are. For the other side. Again... a non-vote, or to throw away your vote on some third part candidate? That's a vote for the other side.
And just what do I mean when I say... the other side?
Folks, the situation is critical. Personally, I do not want to live under a dictatorship - especially when that dictator promises to be a total dick. Those are four years I do not want to live through again. So many lies. So much information. So much hate.
If you want to turn back the clock to 1952, where only straight white men get what they want? Then by all means, stay home.
But if you have lick of common sense... hold your nose, if you have to... but go to the polls and cast a damn vote.
If you value your freedom. If you want your voice to ever be heard. If there are changes you would like to see be made?
Then vote blue, my dear - it truly is the only way to preserve democracy and make a pathway for change.
Don't sit on the sidelines. Don't claim not to care.
You can't, we can't, the world can't afford not to care.
So do your duty.
Vote!
Hoping it all turns out well.
To be honest?
I can't even begin to contemplate the alternative.
