   Just saw a post urging Americans to "Vote Blue" if they don't want violence at their protest camps.

   *double-checks party affiliation of current US president who is in charge of violence in protest camps*

   *blinks slowly*

   Uhmmm....

     @coffeepine We're definitely angry, but this is our reality and we have to act responsibly in this election to ensure Trump doesn't win, so that means voting for Biden.

     We already had this happen in the 2000 election when Al Gore and Bush Jr. were running and a bunch of people with good intentions voted for Nader, but that meant what likely would have been Gore votes were then split and pushed to Nader which resulted in Bush winning the election.

     We've all been here before and it's VERY important that people vote for Biden to ensure that doesn't happen all over again.

     @Alice I know that, but the Pro-Biden camp (esp. on here) is atrocious and has the weirdest tone trying to drum up interest in the man.

     Also, I am pretty sure that even a lot of the critics will vote Biden anyway because they are not stupid.

     But I said it before, y'all should be so angry that the system only gives you these choices.

     Bill repeated this.

     @coffeepine The example in that post is terrible, but this is a serious matter in the United States.

     We only have two possible candidates for election. Biden OR Trump.

     Nobody wants either, but any vote not for Biden is a vote for Trump and that is definitely the worst outcome.

     Nobody is excited or happy, but the most important thing is to ensure that our votes legitimately count as a vote against Trump.

     As a result, Biden it is.
