So there have been quite a few posts and threads recently of people saying "there's no good candidate" and to "not vote for anyone" or they are not going to vote if Joe Biden is nominated. I just wanted to remind these privileged few who don't have to vote that their non-vote is a vote for Trump. Now keep in mind that I was for Warren first, then Harris, and finally Bernie, so I am by no means a "Biden guy", but I will vote for him, and do everything in my power to ensure Trump is defeated. Just so we're clear on what your non-vote means and supports, a quick reminder of things Donald Trump has done in 3 years.
-Emboldened literal nazis and white supremacists who actually murdered someone at a rally. His words literally caused the death of a young lady by a white supremacist.
-Instead of fighting against the rampant murder of black men by law enforcement he has taken the opposite stance and doesn't think police are rough enough on perceived "criminals".
-added 1/3rd of current federal judge appointments, extremely conservative-minded people who are absolutely trampling on the rights to vote, abortion rights, civil rights of people of color. Added Supreme court judges who will strike down Abortion rights when they hear the case.
-dismantled any response the United States had for the global threat facing the world known as climate change
-Kids in cages. That's all I need to say about that horrific policy.
-Transphobia. His administration is not just passively pushing, they are actively trying to enact policies to directly hurt this community.
-He is also negligent in dealing with Puerto Rico's emergencies and his incompetence caused at least 3000 deaths there.
-Qanon, The fucking craziest, looniest people on the net are emboldened by him, and their ridiculous conspiracies are becoming more "mainstream" in some circles. Lest we forget, one of their conspiracies caused a man to try to "save" children he thought were being held in a basement in a pizza shop.
So to put a pin on this rant, a vote for anyone BUT the democratic nominee is a vote in support of all the above-posted items plus many more.
These are just some of the more serious things he's done, not to mention the obvious racism, sexism, homophobia also running rampant.
So to tell people to just "not vote" is asinine and quite frankly insulting to the numerous communities Donald Trump is actively engaged in trying to hurt. And this isn't just theoretical or rhetoric or "my opinion", this is a fact. So while you may be comfortable with four more years of Donald Trump. I'm not and many others are not nor can they afford to be.
