    Don’t let the media and talking heads convince you of anything.

    There are a great majority of people who want nothing to do with Trump, his Russian bootlicking or any of his other xenophobic hate.

    Just vote.

      But the system is rigged so that a relatively small minority of morons can fuck shit up for everybody else. So yeah, guys, vote like your life depends on it because it literally does.

        And those of us who are voting and get elected will, and have been, continue to stop vote rigging, jerrymandering, and voter intimidation.

        Voting doesn’t end at the end of the presidential election. It involves your local elections too. Especially anything to do with your local educational system.

        It’s not a relatively small minority. Trump has lost the popular vote every time he’s run, but not by huge margins. There are a lot of people that legitimately want Trump as a president, and many more that view him as the lesser of two evils. Don’t underestimate that and definitely don’t let down your guard.

      He’s the Republican nominee. What do you mean by letting “the media and talking heads convince you of anything?” Based on the previous two presidential elections, he’s got a 50/50 shot which says a lot about his opponent.
