   People ask why I talk about elections and voting so much.

   It’s because there’s always hope.

     @TonyStark This is why we all need to vote. Elections right now are not about getting what you want. They are about arresting oppression and changing the playing field to lay the groundwork for positive change. Elections are about the numbers. Getting sufficient majorities to make positive changes. It's a long game, and we need to keep fighting, even if the frustrations are overwhelming. Stay the course. Build our numbers. Win everywhere and send these lunatic fascists packing.

     @LLS

     Most importantly if the three people who didnt like either option had voted third party instead of not voting then there would have been a tie and they wouldnt have drove off the cliff or had to deal with a unwanted choice.
